C++ Parent class calling a child virtual function

Question

I want a pure virtual parent class to call a child implementation of a function like so:

class parent
{
  public:
    void Read() { //read stuff }
    virtual vo         


        

Answer 1

You need to wrap in inside an object that calls the virtual method after the object is fully constructed:

class parent
{
  public:
    void Read() { /*read stuff*/ }
    virtual void Process() = 0;
    parent()
    {
        Read();
    }
};

class child: public parent
{
  public:
    virtual void Process() { /*process stuff*/ }
    child() : parent() { }
};

template
class Processor
{
    public:
        Processor()
            :processorObj() // Pass on any args here
        {
            processorObj.Process();
        }
    private:
        T   processorObj;

};




int main()
{
   Processor c;
}
