函数体=0的虚函数称为“纯虚函数”。包含纯虚函数的类称为“抽象类”
#include <string> class Animal // This Animal is an abstract base class
{
protected:
std::string m_name;
public:
Animal(std::string name)
: m_name(name)
{ }
std::string getName() { return m_name; }
virtual const char* speak() = 0; // note that speak is now a pure virtual function
};
int main() {
Animal a; //错:抽象类不能实例化(不能定义抽象类的对象(变量))
}
//从抽象类派生的类型如果没有继承实现所有的纯虚函数,则仍然是“抽象类”
#include <iostream> class Cow : public Animal
{
public:
Cow(std::string name)
: Animal(name)
{
}
// We forgot to redefine speak
};
int main(){
Cow cow("Betsy"); //仍然错:因为Cow仍然是抽象类
std::cout << cow.getName() << " says " << cow.speak() << '\n';
}
像下面这样实现所有纯虚函数就没问题了,Cow不是一个抽象类
#include <iostream>
class Cow : public Animal
{
public:
Cow(std::string name)
: Animal(name)
{
}
virtual const char* speak() { return "Moo"; }
};
int main()
{
Cow cow("Betsy");
std::cout << cow.getName() << " says " << cow.speak() << '\n';
}
