DESCRIPTION :
The following code is used to instead C++ virtual function mechanism for efficiency.
"DECLARE_TYPE" is to be put in base class definitions, the "type" here is used to
determine the type of derived classes.
"VIRTUAL" is supposed to instead the "virtual" keyword so that the mechanism presented
here can work properly without too many changes in the source code.
"VOID_VIRTUAL_BEGIN" is used to define a virtual function in base classes, the
"_funcname" must be written with full type, scope and parameter list. What's more,
a "FUNCCALL" macro must be defined as a call to the derived classes' functions in the
right form, and after declaring the virtual function, you can #undef it to keep clean.
"VOID_DERIVED_CLASS" should be placed below the implementation of the base classes'
virtual functions, and all the derived classes must be included even the derived
classes of its directly derived classes and their inherited classes and etc, the
"_class" here is the name of its derived class, and "_enum" is the idiographic value
of "type" as mentioned above. "VOID_VIRTUAL_END" ends the function definition.
similarly, "VIRTUAL_BEGIN", "DERIVED_CLASS" and "VIRTUAL_END" are used to define
a virtual function in base classses but with value return.
When debugging, the code will use standard C++ virtual function mechanism for ease.
