Member Modifier (Delphi and Delphi Prism Cross Reference Guide)

By Mike Prestwood

Delphi versus Delphi Prism: A side by side comparison between Delphi and Delphi Prism.

OOP Basics

Some languages support object-based concepts such as Paradox, Access, and VB Classic. Other languages have OO extensions and fully support object orientation in a hybrid fashion (such as C++ and Dephi for Win32). Finally, some lanages such as C#, VB.Net, Prism, and Java are entirely written in OO. Meaning, every line of code written must occur within a class).

Member Modifier

[Other Languages]

Languages Focus

Traditional private, protected, public, etc. member modifiers are documented under the member visibility topic of the Cross Reference Encyclopedia. With member modifiers here, we address additional member modifiers such as method and field modifiers.

Delphi: "Member Modifiers"

Specify Delphi member modifiers as follows:

reintroduce; overload; [binding modifier]; [calling convention]; abstract; [warning]

The binding modifiers are virtual, dynamic, or override.

The calling conventions are register, pascal, cdecl, stdcall, or safecall.

The warnings are platform, deprecated, or library.

Additional directives include reintroduce, abstract, class, static, overload, and message.

Syntax Example:

TCyborg = class(TObject)

public

  procedure Speak(pMessage: String); virtual;

end;

 
TSeries888 = class(TCyborg)

public

  procedure Speak(pMessage: String); override;

end;

Delphi Prism: "Member Modifiers"

Prism supports a full suite of member modifiers. Prism virtuality modifiers are virtual, override, final, and reintroduce.

Prism general modifiers are abstract, empty, async, external, locked, unsafe, implements, and iterator.

Not all member types support all member modifiers. For example, member fields support only readonly and implements.

Syntax Example:

Cyborg = public class(System.Object)

public

  method Speak(pMessage: String); virtual;

end;

 
Series888 = public class(Cyborg)

public

  method Speak(pMessage: String); override;

end;
