Can I get polymorphic behavior without using virtual functions?

Question

Because of my device I can\'t use virtual functions. Suppose I have:

class Base
{
    void doSomething() { }
};

class Derived : public Base
{
    void doSom         


        

Answer 1

Can you encapsulate the base class rather than deriving from it?

Then you can call doSomething() // gets derived
or base->doSomething() // calls base
