Oct 4, 2011 at 15:34	comment	added	Klaim		@user974191 Do you mean, how is implemented inheritance? Maybe look for "virtual table". In you example the "dynamic type" aka "real type known at runtime" is obviously Derived. However, in some code, you can work with a Base type that in fact is something else without having to know.

Oct 4, 2011 at 15:23	comment	added	user103214		In my example, I have virtual functions which means that calls will be resolved at runtime. how does dynamic applies here when there is no dynamic binding?
Oct 4, 2011 at 15:15	comment	added	arne		Wouldn't `A &k = B();` suffice?
