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。

你也不应该在构造函数中调用虚函数。参见:http://www.artima.com/cppsource/nevercall.html

另外，我不确定是否真的需要虚拟构造函数。你可以在没有它的情况下实现多态构造:你可以编写一个函数，根据所需的参数构造你的对象。

我们有，只是它不是一个构造函数:-)

struct A {
  virtual ~A() {}
  virtual A * Clone() { return new A; }
};

struct B : public A {
  virtual A * Clone() { return new B; }
};

int main() {

   A * a1 = new B;
   A * a2 = a1->Clone();    // virtual construction
   delete a2;
   delete a1;
}

在创建对象时创建Vpointer。创建对象前Vpointer不存在。因此，没有必要将构造函数设为虚函数。

The virtual mechanism only works when you have a based class pointer to a derived class object. Construction has it's own rules for the calling of base class constructors, basically base class to derived. How could a virtual constructor be useful or called? I don't know what other languages do, but I can't see how a virtual constructor could be useful or even implemented. Construction needs to have taken place for the virtual mechanism to make any sense and construction also needs to have taken place for the vtable structures to have been created which provides the mechanics of the polymorphic behaviour.

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。
