Answer Posted / laxmikant

A virtual function is a function which is precedded by the
key word derived is declared in the base class.It is
normally used to achieve run time polymerphism.That means
we can override the base class function in the derived
class.We can invoke the virtual function through the base
class pointer depending upon the contents to which the base
class pointer points to.
Generally the implementation of virtual
class was found in inheritance where the base class
function is override in the derived class.

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
