Question

I\'ve recently read about the Dynamic Dispatch on Wikipedia and couldn\'t understand the difference between dynamic dispatch and late binding in C++.

When each one

Answer 1

I suppose the meaning is when you have two classes B,C inherits the same father class A. so, pointer of the father (type A) can hold each of sons types. The compiler cannot know what the type holds in the pointer in certain time, because it can change during the program run.

There is special functions to determine what the type of certain object in certain time. like instanceof in java, or by if(typeid(b) == typeid(A))... in c++.
