Can a compiler inline a virtual function if I use a pointer in a clear situation?
问题 I've already read Are inline virtual functions really a non-sense?. But I still have some doubts and found no answer there. They say that if situation isn't ambiguous, compiler should inline the virtual function . However: This can happen only when the compiler has an actual object rather than a pointer or reference to an object. So what if I have a B class derived from an A one (which contains a virtual void doSth() function) and I use the B* pointer, not the A* : B* b = new B; b->doSth();
