In c++ if a function is declared virtual for any class, then that class has an associated
virtual table . With each of those virtual functions a special type of virtual table pointer is associated , which has an entry in the virtual table associated with the corresponding class.
These virtual pointers are used at runtime to figure out which virtual function to invoke at runtime.
Making virtual functions inline does not make sense ?? why ...
Inline functions are meant to be made inline , so that means they don't have an explicit address but then if it does not have an address and its virtual then how will it have an entry in the virtual table ??
It will have an entry , cause our friend compiler will generate a function body for us and embed the address somewhere for it .
