Thanks. It's useful.

thanks.

Thanks,very good!

it will be good and more aligned to the pattern if the pointer to the ImplementationInterface can be moved to the AbstractInterface instead of its child classes , like this:

/* Forward Declaration */
class ImplementationInterface;
/* Implemented interface. */
class AbstractInterface
{
    protected:
        ImplementationInterface* implementation;
    public:
        virtual void someFunctionality() = 0;
};

Thanks,very good!
