You are confused. You can use inheritance and virtual functions in C++
as well without using pointers:

#include <iostream>

class a
{
private:
  int _value;
public:
  a(int x) : _value(x) {}
  int n(){return _value;}
  virtual void f() = 0;
};

class b : public a
{
public:
  b(int x) : a(x) {}
  void f();
};

void b::f()
{
  std::cout << "I am b " << n() <<"\n";
}

class c : public a
{
public:
  c(int x) : a(x) {}
  void f();
};

void c::f()
{
  std::cout << "I am c " << n() << "\n";
}

void test(a& x)
{
  x.f();
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  b my_b(1);
  c my_c(2);

  test(my_b);
  test(my_c);

  return 0;
}
