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.

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;
}

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。

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.

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。

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。
