class reference type
In Delphi operations can be performed on a class itself, rather than on instances of a class. With TClass references to classes can be declared and used. CBuilder has as counterpart to Delphi's TClass:
typedef TMetaClass* TClass
For example:
type
TMyClass = class of TFoo;
...
implementation
function TBar.GetClass : TMyClass;
begin
result := TMyClass;
end;
is translated to:
typedef TMetaClass* /* TFoo */ TMyClass;
...
TMetaClass * __fastcall TBar::GetClass ( )
{
TMetaClass * result;
result = __classid ( TMyClass );
return result;
}
But some of the possibilities of Delphi to operate with such class references are not translated correctly yet by Delphi2Cpp or even cannot be translated at all.
