如何实例化从抽象类派生的类

template<class Elem>
class BinNode//Binary tree node abstract class.
{
public:
    virtual Elem& val() = 0;//return the node's element;
    virtual void setVal(const Elem& ) = 0;//set the node's element;
    virtual BinNode* left() const = 0;//return the node's left child;
    virtual BinNode* right() const = 0;//return the node's right child;
    virtual void setLeft(BinNode*) = 0;//set the node's left child's element;
    virtual void setRight(BinNode*) = 0;//set the node's right child's element;
};
template<class Elem>
class BinNodePtr:public BinNode<Elem>
{
public:
    Elem ele;//the content of the node
    BinNodePtr<Elem>* lc;//the node's left child
    BinNodePtr<Elem>* rc;//the node's right child
public:
    static int now_on;//the node's identifier
    BinNodePtr(){lc = rc = NULL;ele = 0;};//the constructor
    ~BinNodePtr(){};//the destructor
    void setVal(const Elem& e){this->ele = e;};
    Elem& val(){return ele;}//return the element of the node
    inline BinNode<Elem>* left()const//return the node's left child
    {
        return lc;
    }
    inline BinNode<Elem>* right()const//return the node's right child
    {
        return rc;
    }
    void setLeft(const Elem& e){lc->ele = e;}//to set the content of the node's leftchild
    void setRight(const Elem& e){rc->ele = e;}//to set the content of the node's rightchild
};
int main()
{
    BinNodePtr<int> root;//initiate a variable//the error is here.
    BinNodePtr<int> subroot = &root;//initiate a pointer to the variable
}

当我构建它时，编译器告诉我"不能实例化抽象类"。错误在BinNodePtr root;我不是实例化一个抽象类，而是一个从抽象类派生的类。如何解决?
