虚表是由编译器创建的。 类对象有一个指向虚表的指针。当它开始生命时，虚表指针指向虚表 基类的。在构造函数代码的末尾，编译器生成重新指向虚表指针的代码 到类的实际虚函数表。这样可以确保调用虚函数的构造函数代码调用 这些函数的基类实现，而不是类中的重写。

在大多数OO语言中，从构造函数调用多态函数是导致灾难的原因。遇到这种情况时，不同的语言会有不同的表现。

基本问题是，在所有语言中，基类型必须在派生类型之前构造。现在，问题是从构造函数调用多态方法意味着什么。你希望它表现得怎样?有两种方法:在基本层调用方法(c++风格)或在层次结构底部的未构造对象上调用多态方法(Java方式)。

In C++ the Base class will build its version of the virtual method table prior to entering its own construction. At this point a call to the virtual method will end up calling the Base version of the method or producing a pure virtual method called in case it has no implementation at that level of the hierarchy. After the Base has been fully constructed, the compiler will start building the Derived class, and it will override the method pointers to point to the implementations in the next level of the hierarchy.

class Base {
public:
   Base() { f(); }
   virtual void f() { std::cout << "Base" << std::endl; } 
};
class Derived : public Base
{
public:
   Derived() : Base() {}
   virtual void f() { std::cout << "Derived" << std::endl; }
};
int main() {
   Derived d;
}
// outputs: "Base" as the vtable still points to Base::f() when Base::Base() is run

In Java, the compiler will build the virtual table equivalent at the very first step of construction, prior to entering the Base constructor or Derived constructor. The implications are different (and to my likings more dangerous). If the base class constructor calls a method that is overriden in the derived class the call will actually be handled at the derived level calling a method on an unconstructed object, yielding unexpected results. All attributes of the derived class that are initialized inside the constructor block are yet uninitialized, including 'final' attributes. Elements that have a default value defined at the class level will have that value.

public class Base {
   public Base() { polymorphic(); }
   public void polymorphic() { 
      System.out.println( "Base" );
   }
}
public class Derived extends Base
{
   final int x;
   public Derived( int value ) {
      x = value;
      polymorphic();
   }
   public void polymorphic() {
      System.out.println( "Derived: " + x ); 
   }
   public static void main( String args[] ) {
      Derived d = new Derived( 5 );
   }
}
// outputs: Derived 0
//          Derived 5
// ... so much for final attributes never changing :P

如您所见，调用多态(c++术语为虚拟)方法是一个常见的错误来源。在c++中，至少你可以保证它永远不会对一个尚未构造的对象调用方法……

Firstly,Object is created and then we assign it 's address to pointers.Constructors are called at the time of object creation and used to initializ the value of data members. Pointer to object comes into scenario after object creation. Thats why, C++ do not allows us to make constructors as virtual . .another reason is that, There is nothing like pointer to constructor , which can point to virtual constructor,because one of the property of virtual function is that it can be used by pointers only.

虚函数用于动态赋值，因为构造函数是静态的，所以我们不能将它们设为虚函数。

原因是c++对象的构造就像洋葱，由内而外。基类在派生类之前构造。所以，在生成B之前，必须先生成a。当调用A的构造函数时，它还不是B，因此虚函数表中仍然有A的fn()副本的条目。

作为补充，调用尚未完成构造的对象的虚函数也将面临同样的问题。

例如，在对象的构造函数中启动一个新线程，并将该对象传递给新线程，如果新线程在对象完成构造之前调用该对象的虚函数将导致意想不到的结果。

例如:

#include <thread>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <chrono>

class Base
{
public:
  Base()
  {
    std::thread worker([this] {
      // This will print "Base" rather than "Sub".
      this->Print();
    });
    worker.detach();
    // Try comment out this code to see different output.
    std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(1));
  }
  virtual void Print()
  {
    std::cout << "Base" << std::endl;
  }
};

class Sub : public Base
{
public:
  void Print() override
  {
    std::cout << "Sub" << std::endl;
  }
};

int main()
{
  Sub sub;
  sub.Print();
  getchar();
  return 0;
}

这将输出:

Base
Sub

我看不出这里虚拟关键词的重要性。B是一个静态类型变量，它的类型由编译器在编译时确定。函数调用不会引用虚表。当b被构造时，它的父类的构造函数被调用，这就是为什么_n的值被设置为1。
