Who wants to convert Delphi code should not start from the scratch with TextTransformer but take the ready Delphi converters.

Delphi version	Delphi 7	RAD Studio 10.2.2 Tokyo
C++ version	C++ 98	C++98, C++11, C++14, C++17 (see 1)
target system	32 bit	32 bit, 64 bit (see 2)
System code	basic C++ code for System.pas and Delphi Intrinsic Routines	basic C++ code for System.pas and Delphi Intrinsic Routines
RTL	SysUtils translated from free pascal	most original Delphi RTL code has been translated and post-processed (see 3)
char type	supports Unicode and old style AnsiChar based programs	only supports Unidode based programs
with statements	via explicitly typed helper variables	by use of auto.type or via explicitly typed helper variables for C++98
nested functions	lookup of needed variables (sometimes results in long lists)	via lambda exressions (see 5)
array initialization	explicitly for all elements	via std::initializer_list (see 5)
returned C-style array	partially managed via global variables	manged via array references
properties	à la C++Builder or via getter and setter methods	à laC++Builder or via getter and setter methods, VC properties are supported too
event handling simulation	with code from Tamas Demjen (see 4)	with std::function
"finally" simulation	no	simulated via lambda expression
for-in loops	no	range based for-loops
operator precedence	partially corrected	accurately converted
overload resolution	no	an algorithm to find the best fitting overload is used
ambiguity resolution	no	ambiguities are resolved automatically when they arise from equal symbol names at the C++ lookup
unicode source files	no	yes
unit scope names	no	yes
operator overloading	no	yes
class helpers	no	yes
class-like records	no	yes

IDE	yes	yes
executable via command line	yes	yes
translation manager	yes	yes
user defined type-map	no	yes
refactoring tool	no	yes

1. C++98 tested with C++Builder, C++11-17 tested with C++Builder and Visual C++

2. Windows tested, mac os partially tested with special string class, available on demand

3. for legal reasons delivered only for proofed Delphi owners. some parts of the RTL cannot be translated, but SysUtils is nearly complete

4. formerly available at: http://tweakbits.com/articles/events/index.html

5. for C++98 code an additional manual post-processing of newer features is inevitable
