hey friends,
I want to know is there any 'virtual constructor' in c++? This question has been asked to me twice in my college. Hope to get reply with sound explanations.

Not really. There's a pattern that can be called virtual constructor, but it is not inherently supported by the language.
"Modern C++ Design" by Andrei Alexandrescu contains an implementation of the pattern.
All the buzzt!

no, and you can't call virtual functions inside constructors either. The reason is that the vtable has not been assembled yet. There are however virtual destructors which in some uses are crucial.
