{ I think the old thread “Object upgrades” got broken during the server move so
I’ll try to start a new thread and see if this gets posted }
Another question. I’m not sure it’s possible but I did try to add management
operators to objects and found that if a initialize operator was declared in a
unit which was precompiled and then inherited from an object in another unit
which declared another initialize operators, the initialize operator would be
called twice.
The issue is that the operator is compiled into some other code which always
gets called when the object is used as a var type. Is there any work around to
that? The options I’m aware of are:
1) don’t allow management operators in objects (that would be very unfortunate
indeed).
2) don’t allow subclasses to redeclare a management operator (that seems ok
since the operator can call a virtual method from the base class).
3) allow overriding of operators. I don’t think that would be make sense or
perhaps even possible.
Regards,
Ryan Joseph
