Thanks for your explanations, it is getting more clear how modified
property tracking is being used.
More clarification please. MarkPropertyChanged offsets the property
changed index (to TBits) by the ClassParent total property count, but
IsPropertyModified does not take this offset into account. Consider
this example:
TBaseObject --> TGoogleBaseObject --> TSchema --> TMySchema
TBaseObjectClass = Class of TBaseObject;
If the object is TMySchema, in GetParentPropCount the TBits index gets
offset by (see reference code below):
TBaseObjectClass(TSchema).GetTotalPropCount;
If the object is TSchema, the TBits index gets offset by:
TBaseObjectClass(TGoogleBaseObject).GetTotalPropCount;
Questions:
1) Since the ClassParent is always cast as TBaseObjectClass isn't this
the same as just TBaseObjectClass(Self.ClassType)?
2) Doesn't each object already have the parent properties included in
its own properties by inheritance?
3) Why does MarkPropertyChanged offset the index and
IsPropertyModified does not take the offset into account?
Reference for above questions:
class function TBaseObject.GetParentPropCount: Integer;
begin
if (ClassParent=TBaseObject) or (ClassParent=Nil) then
Result:=0
else
Result:=TBaseObjectClass(ClassParent).GetTotalPropCount;
end;
procedure TBaseObject.MarkPropertyChanged(AIndex: Integer);
begin
If Assigned(FBits) then
FBits.SetOn(GetParentPropCount+(AIndex shr IndexShift));
end;
function TBaseObject.IsPropertyModified(Info: PPropInfo): Boolean;
begin
Result:=Not Assigned(FBits) or FBits.Bits[Info^.NameIndex]
end;
</end reference code>
