A pure-virtual function is a function that must be overridden in derived classes. You simply add "=0" to the end of the function declaration. class AbstractClass { public: virtual void DoSomething()=0; // Pure-virtual. };
A virtual function table is a table of pointers to functions.

Virtual Functions and Pure Virtual Functions are relevant in the context of class inheritance.Unlike Virtual Functions, Pure Virtual Functions do not require a body. This implies that when a base class defining such a function is inherited, the derived class must implement that function. Furthermore, the base class becomes abstract; meaning you cannot create an instance of the base class even if a body is implemented for the function. You are expected to derive from abstract classes; only the derived classes that implement all the inherited Pure Virtual functions can be instantiated.Here are some examples of Virtual and Pure Virtual function signatures:- Virtual Function: E.g. virtual void myFunction();- Pure Virtual Function: E.g. virtual void myFunction() = 0;
No, inlining is done at compile time whereas virtual functions are resolved at run time(late binding). So, virtual functions can't be inlined. Both properties are orthogonal.Inlining is a mere suggestion the compiler may ignore it if it is declared with virtual function.
Virtual functions are dynamically bound at runtime.
Virtual functions is a function that can be overridden in inheriting class with the same signature (function name, parameters number, parameters types and return type);Pure virtual function is function that does not have implementation and if class has pure virtual function is called abstract. It is not possible to instantiate that class. Some other class must inherit it and define the body for it (implement). In other words class only have function prototype/declaration(signature) and no definition(implementation).
when we add LPOH to the to c's then the new thing is called VC(vertual container in sdh).

Static member functions, member function templates and constructors cannot be virtual.
extensible means to enhance the program with new capabilities. In c++, extensibility can be achieved by using virtual function. now first we discuss what is virtual function in c++. " C++ virtual function is a member function of a class, whose functionality can be over-ridden in its derived classes. The whole function body can be replaced with a new set of implementation in the derived class." Through this u can be able to promote extensibility in your program by using Virtual function. Very simple concept.
Dynamic binding is achieved via virtual functions and the virtual table that is associated with every class that declares or inherits a virtual function. The virtual table (or v-table) maps every virtual function (including pure-virtual functions) to a function pointer that points to the most-derived overload. This makes it possible to invoke specific behaviour even when the runtime type of the object is unknown to the caller.
