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。

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.

虚函数基本上提供多态行为。也就是说，当您使用的对象的动态类型与引用它的静态(编译时)类型不同时，它提供的行为适合于对象的实际类型，而不是对象的静态类型。

现在尝试将这种行为应用于构造函数。当你构造一个对象时，静态类型总是与实际的对象类型相同，因为:

要构造一个对象，构造函数需要它要创建的对象的确切类型[…]此外[…]]则不能有指向构造函数的指针

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。

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.

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
