Probably the least understood and often misunderstood part of learning and using C++ programming is the virtualisation of a function in a C++ class. We write virtual functions to enable what we call ...

Embedded C developers shy away from C++ out of concern for performance. The class construct is one of their main concerns. My previous article Code Craft – Embedding C++: Classes explored whether ...

"If you don't measure it, you can't improve it." Most people using C++ for latency critical applications would know that virtual (indirect) function calls tend to be slower than direct function calls.

My memory on this is a little sketchy, but I think that when you make a call on a virtual function, the virtual function table must be consulted before method invocation, whereas non-virtual functions ...

In object technology, a function that has a default operation for a base class, but which can be overridden and perform a different operation by a derived class. A derived class inherits the ...
