Distinguish between static binding and dynamic binding. Explain the use of virtual func- tions and the vtable in dynamic binding.

Static binding is performed at compile time when a function is called via a specific object or via a pointer/reference to an object. Dynamic binding is performed at run-time when a virtual function is called via a base-class pointer/reference to a derived-class object (the object can be of any derived class). The virtual functions table (vtable) is used at run-time to enable the proper function to be called for the object to which the base-class pointer/reference “points”. Each class containing virtual functions has its own vtable that specifies where the virtual functions for that class are located. Every object of a class with virtual functions contains a hidden pointer to the class’s vtable. When a virtual function is called via a base-class pointer, the hidden pointer is dereferenced to locate the vtable, then the vtable is searched for the proper function call.
