Calls of inherited procedures and functions

What is translated > Routines > Calls of inherited procedures and functions

For each class, which inherits from another one a typedef is inserted into the C++ code, like

class foo: public bar {

  typedef bar inherited;

So, if in the Delphi code an inherited routine is called by the identifier "inherited" followed by the name of the routine, it can be translated easily to C++ accordingly.

inherited.foo  ->  inherited::foo()

When "inherited" has no identifier after it, it refers to the inherited method with the same name as the enclosing method. In this case, inherited can appear with or without parameters; if no parameters are specified, it passes to the inherited method the same parameters with which the enclosing method was called. For example,

procedure foo.bar(b : BOOLEAN); 

begin                                       

  inherited;           

end;                                

->

void __fastcall foo::bar ( bool b )

{

  inherited::bar( b );

}
