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。

听可靠消息。：）

选自Bjarne Stroustrup的c++风格和技术常见问题解答为什么没有虚拟构造函数?

虚拟调用是一种在给定局部条件下完成工作的机制 信息。特别地，“virtual”允许我们调用一个函数 只知道任何接口，而不知道对象的确切类型。来 创建对象时需要完整的信息。特别是，你 需要知道你想要创建的确切类型。因此, “对构造函数的调用”不能是虚的。

FAQ条目继续给出了一种不使用虚拟构造函数实现此目的的方法的代码。

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.

c++中的虚函数是运行时多态性的一种实现，它们将执行函数覆盖。在c++中，当需要动态行为时，通常使用virtual关键字。只有当对象存在时，它才会工作。而构造函数用于创建对象。构造函数将在对象创建时调用。

因此，如果您将构造函数创建为virtual，根据virtual关键字定义，它应该有现有的对象可以使用，但构造函数用于创建对象，因此这种情况将永远不存在。所以你不应该将构造函数作为虚函数使用。

因此，如果我们试图声明虚拟构造函数编译器抛出一个错误:

构造函数不能声明为虚函数

If you think logically about how constructors work and what the meaning/usage of a virtual function is in C++ then you will realise that a virtual constructor would be meaningless in C++. Declaring something virtual in C++ means that it can be overridden by a sub-class of the current class, however the constructor is called when the objected is created, at that time you cannot be creating a sub-class of the class, you must be creating the class so there would never be any need to declare a constructor virtual.

另一个原因是，构造函数的名字与其类名相同如果我们将构造函数声明为virtual，那么它应该在它的派生类中以相同的名字重新定义，但两个类的名字不能相同。所以不可能有一个虚拟构造函数。

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。
