Problems with constructors

What is translated > Types > Records, Classes, Interfaces > Class > Constructors > Problems with constructors

Summarizing, there remain two problems for which the translated constructors have to be checked:

There is still another problem with special constructors. In Delphi there can be several constructors with the same signature but with different names.. E.g.:

TCoordinate = class(TObject)

public

  constructor CreateRectangular(AX, AY: Double);

  constructor CreatePolar(Radius, Angle: Double);

private

  x,y : Double;  

end;

constructor TCoordinate.CreateRectangular(AX, AY: Double);

begin

  x := AX;

  y := AY;

end

constructor TCoordinate.CreatePolar(Radius, Angle: Double);

begin

  x := Radius * cos(Angle);

  y := Radius * sIn(Angle);

end

After translation the two constructors become ambiguous: 

public class TCoordinate : TObject

{

  public TCoordinate(double AX, double AY)

  {

    CreateRectangular(AX, AY);

  }

  public void CreateRectangular(double AX, double AY)

  {

    x = AX;

    y = AY;

  }

  public TCoordinate(double Radius, double Angle)

  {

    CreatePolar(Radius, Angle);

  }

  public void CreatePolar(double Radius, double Angle)

  {

    x = Radius * cos(Angle);

    y = Radius * sIn(Angle);

  }

  private double x;

  private double y;

  public TCoordinate() {}

};

In such cases the conflict has to be avoided manually.
