The term "vtable" is not explicitly mentioned in the provided context, but it relates to the concept of dynamic dispatch in Swift, which is discussed in the session "Explore Swift performance" (wwdc2024-10217). In Swift, protocols are represented at runtime with a table of function pointers, similar to a vtable in C++. This table is used for dynamic dispatch when a protocol requirement is called.

For more details on how Swift handles dynamic dispatch and protocol constraints, you can refer to the section on generics in the session Explore Swift performance (30:36).
