Say If all my classes where inherited from one base class with all it's member functions where virtual. And Say I inherited 5 classes in all. Would that be a large performance hit?Also, can compilers compile optimized code for purely virtual base classes?kvarnerexpress Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
