Again, you are wrong to generalize.  It depends on the situation, the abstraction in question, and the code.

As I said most abstractions don't add overhead over a manual
implementation.

And you were completely wrong when you said that.  Perhaps in /your/ field of programming you are correct - but you are ignoring the rest
of the world.

You've to omit nearly the whole standard libary to avoid exceptions.
F.e. everything that has an allocator may throw bad_alloc.

Often that is correct.  Often it is /not/ correct.

It's correct nearly every time since usually you've more than a dozen
instructions in a virtual function.

For every one of your favourite big x86 chips sold, there will be a hundred small microcontrollers - none of which has branch prediction.

Even the simple Cortex CPUs have a branch prediciton.
