How do you tell the compiler that a function is purely virtual and will be
declared only in a sub-class ? i.e, There is not implementation for the
function in the current class.

Can you explicitly declare a virtual class in C++ ? [Like the abstract class
keyword in Java]

Are friends of base classes not friends of sub-classes ?

class  VirtualBase
{
    public    :
        virtual int        PureVirtual    ()    = 0;
};

There is all kinds of possibilities in C++. However, I do not know Java well
enough to answer these questions.

Jan

class  ACLASS {
public:
    virtual int virtual_member()=0;
};

With i don't know witch version of SC or DM C++ sometime i had to create the
function on the .CPP:

    int ACLASS::virtual_member() {
    }
