I have fixed my benchmark:

----------------------------------------------------------
Benchmark                Time             CPU   Iterations
----------------------------------------------------------
BM_test_virtual       2.57 ns         2.53 ns    277764970
BM_test_ifElse        1.58 ns         1.57 ns    445197861

code:
using Func_t = bool (*)();

bool testVirtual(Func_t ptr)
{
    return ptr();
}

void BM_test_virtual(benchmark::State &state)
{
    volatile Func_t ptr = &static_tracking_do_busy_loop;

    for (auto _ : state) {
        benchmark::DoNotOptimize(testVirtual(ptr));
    }
}
