When a constructor is invoked, although there is no object created till that point, we still know the kind of object that is gonna be created because the specific constructor of the class to which the object belongs to has already been called. Virtual keyword associated with a function means the function of a particular object type is gonna be called. So, my thinking says that there is no need to make the virtual constructor because already the desired constructor whose object is gonna be created has been invoked and making constructor virtual is just a redundant thing to do because the object-specific constructor has already been invoked and this is same as calling class-specific function which is achieved through the virtual keyword. Although the inner implementation won’t allow virtual constructor for vptr and vtable related reasons.

Another reason is that C++ is a statically typed language and we need to know the type of a variable at compile-time. The compiler must be aware of the class type to create the object. The type of object to be created is a compile-time decision. If we make the constructor virtual then it means that we don’t need to know the type of the object at compile-time(that’s what virtual function provide. We don’t need to know the actual object and just need the base pointer to point an actual object call the pointed object’s virtual functions without knowing the type of the object) and if we don’t know the type of the object at compile time then it is against the statically typed languages. And hence, run-time polymorphism cannot be achieved. Hence, Constructor won’t be called without knowing the type of the object at compile-time. And so the idea of making a virtual constructor fails.

A virtual-table(vtable) is made for each Class having one or more 'virtual-functions'. Whenever an Object is created of such class, it contains a 'virtual-pointer' which points to the base of corresponding vtable. Whenever there is a virtual function call, the vtable is used to resolve to the function address. Constructor can not be virtual, because when constructor of a class is executed there is no vtable in the memory, means no virtual pointer defined yet. Hence the constructor should always be non-virtual.

尽管由于对象类型是对象创建的先决条件，所以虚拟构造函数的概念不太适合，但它并没有完全被推翻。

GOF的“工厂方法”设计模式利用了虚拟构造函数的“概念”，这在某些设计情况下很方便。

与面向对象的语言(如Smalltalk或Python)不同，这些语言的构造函数是表示类的对象的虚拟方法(这意味着您不需要GoF抽象工厂模式，因为您可以传递表示类的对象，而不是自己创建)，c++是一种基于类的语言，并且没有表示语言的任何构造的对象。该类在运行时不作为对象存在，因此不能对其调用虚方法。

这符合“不用就不用付钱”的理念，尽管我所见过的每个大型c++项目最终都实现了某种形式的抽象工厂或反射。

虚函数用于根据指针所指向的对象类型调用函数，而不是指针本身的类型。但是构造函数不会被“调用”。它只在声明对象时调用一次。因此，在c++中构造函数不能被设为虚函数。

我们不能简单地说…我们不能继承构造函数。因此没有必要将它们声明为虚拟的，因为虚拟提供了多态性。
