<p>A non-static member function may be declared <i>virtual</i> or <i>pure virtual</i>. See <a href="virtual.html" title="cpp/language/virtual">virtual functions</a> and <a href="abstract_class.html" title="cpp/language/abstract class">abstract classes</a> for details.

<p><a href="constructor.html" title="cpp/language/constructor" class="mw-redirect">constructors</a> and <a href="destructor.html" title="cpp/language/destructor">destructors</a> are non-public member functions that use a special syntax for their declarations (see their pages for details).
</p><p>Some member functions are <i>special</i>: under certain circumstances they are defined by the compiler even if not defined by the user. They are:
</p>
<ul><li> <a href="default_constructor.html" title="cpp/language/default constructor">Default constructor</a>
</li><li> <a href="copy_constructor.html" title="cpp/language/copy constructor">Copy constructor</a>

</li><li> <a href="destructor.html" title="cpp/language/destructor">Destructor</a>
</li></ul>
<p>Special member functions are the only functions that can be <i>defaulted</i>, that is, defined using <span class="t-c"><span class="mw-geshi cpp source-cpp"><span class="sy1">=</span> <span class="kw1">default</span></span></span> instead of the function body (see their pages for details)
