Borland / Delphi alternative for __super keyword

Question

The __super keyword is specific to Microsoft. It is used to access the virtual methods of the parent class. Do you know alternative keywords for borland C ++ / delphi compilers?

class MyBaseClass { virtual void DoSomething(); }; class MyDerivedClass : public MyBaseClass { virtual void DoSomething(); }; void MyBaseClass::DoSomething() { // some code } void MyDerivedClass::DoSomething() { __super::DoSomething(); // calls implementation of base class - no need to know name of base class // implementation specific to derived class adding new functionality } 

Answer 1

Equivalent to Delphi inherited . As far as I know, there is no equivalent in C ++ Builder, and of course, __super is a non-standard MS extension.

Answer 2

• Delphi: inherited MyMethod(MyParam); or abbreviated inherited;
• C ++ Builder: MyBaseClass::MyMethod(MyParam);

Answer 3

In Delphi, the equivalent is inherited . You can see examples of its use in RTL and VCL sources.
