What are the different forms of polymorphism??

Answer Posted / mms zubeir

Though there are many answers which are all true to some
extent, I would like to conclude all these into two broad
categories:

1. Ad-hoc polymorphism
2. Parametric polymorphism

As the meaning of the names themselves suggests their usage.

If the range of actual types that can be used is finite
and the combinations must be specified individually prior
to use, it is called Ad-hoc polymorphism.

If all code is written without mention of any specific type
and thus can be used transparently with any number of new
types, it is called parametric polymorphism.

Question In a class, there is a reference or pointer of an object of another class embedded, and the memory is either allocated or assigned to the new object created for this class. In the constructor, parameters are passed to initialize the data members and the embedded object reference to get inialized. What measures or design change should be advised for proper destruction and avioding memory leaks, getting pointers dangling for the embedded object memory allocation? Please suggest.

Answer # 1 use copy constructors 0 Shanthila There is something to be taken care in destructor, in copy constructor, suppose the memory is assigned to the embedded member object pointer with the parameter passed value, but if some other objects of different class also are pointing to this memory, then if some one deletes the object then this class member pointer object will become dangling, or if the object is not deleted properly then there will be memory leak. Please suggest the design change required to handle or avoid this situation
