Polymorphism. Polymorphism is independent of pointers or references
(but you must use them to make it work). And as you see it works just
No, you don't need pointers nor references in order to invoke member
functions polymorphically.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Dynamic polymorphism
only occurs when the dynamic type of an object can differ from
the static type, and in C++, that pretty much means pointers or
references.
What I meant is that virtual op can be invoked from non-virtual in the
base class, e.g.:
class Base
{
public:
void f()
{ g(); }
virtual void g() {}
};
class Derived : public Base
{
public:
void g() {}
};
int main()
{
Derived d;
d.f();
return 0;
}
