Optimizing Away C++ Virtual Functions May Be Pointless - Shachar Shemesh - CppCon 2023
[ Ссылка ]

We all know that Virtual Functions Should Be Avoided. A great many tutorials exist for replacing virtual functions with compile-time polymorphism mechanisms, such as std::variant and templates. But is that feeling justified? Are virtual functions truly slower? By how much? Does it matter for your particular use case? What costs do their alternatives carry?

In this lecture we'll try and understand where that impression came from, what virtual functions do that make them slower and how all of that interacts with modern CPU architectures. We'll also explore the limits of benchmarks for answering those questions.

This lecture may not supply you with answers, but it will supply you with better questions.
