The EXTERNALSYM directive prevents the specified Pascal symbol from appearing in C++ header files. This directive is used for types, which already are defined in the API of the operation system. For Delphi these types have to be redefined, for C++ not.

 

Delphi2Cpp II doesn't output code parts, which are marked with the EXTERNALSYM directive if the according option is enabled.

 

Syntax:        

 

{$EXTERNALSYM identifier}

 

Example:

 

type

  size_t : LongWord;

  {$EXTERNALSYM size_t}
