  2. Method overriding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_overriding

    When overriding one method with another, the signatures of the two methods must be identical (and with same visibility). In C#, class methods, indexers, properties and events can all be overridden. Non-virtual or static methods cannot be overridden. The overridden base method must be virtual, abstract, or override.

  3. Virtual function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_function

    And even if methods owned by the base class call the virtual method, they will instead be calling the derived method. Overloading occurs when two or more methods in one class have the same method name but different parameters. Overriding means having two methods with the same method name and parameters. Overloading is also referred to as ...

  4. Method (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_(computer_programming)

    Method overloading, on the other hand, refers to differentiating the code used to handle a message based on the parameters of the method. If one views the receiving object as the first parameter in any method then overriding is just a special case of overloading where the selection is based only on the first argument.

  5. Virtual method table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_method_table

    An object's virtual method table will contain the addresses of the object's dynamically bound methods. Method calls are performed by fetching the method's address from the object's virtual method table. The virtual method table is the same for all objects belonging to the same class, and is therefore typically shared between them.

  6. Late binding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_binding

    In .NET, late binding refers to overriding a virtual method like C++ or implementing an interface. The compiler builds virtual tables for every virtual or interface method call which is used at run-time to determine the implementation to execute.

  7. Call super - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_super

    Call super is a design pattern in which a particular class stipulates that in a derived subclass, the user is required to override a method and call back the overridden function itself at a particular point. The overridden method may be intentionally incomplete, and reliant on the overriding method to augment its functionality in a prescribed ...

  8. Virtual inheritance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_inheritance

    Virtual inheritance is a C++ technique that ensures only one copy of a base class ' s member variables are inherited by grandchild derived classes. Without virtual inheritance, if two classes B and C inherit from a class A , and a class D inherits from both B and C , then D will contain two copies of A ' s member variables: one via B , and one ...

  9. Dynamic dispatch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_dispatch

    The default form of dispatch is static. To get dynamic dispatch the programmer must declare a method as virtual. C++ compilers typically implement dynamic dispatch with a data structure called a virtual function table (vtable) that defines the name-to-implementation mapping for a given class as a set of member function pointers. This is purely ...
