Hi,

I just read: while using virtual functions in c++, compilers put the VPTR/VTABLE
info in the compiled code so that the exact type of a referenced/pointed object
can be found at run time.

My questions:

1:why dont we have a linker that can use the same VPTR/VTABLE info to accomplish
binding at link time?

2:whats the benefit of doing binding after link time?
