I'm trying to use this feature, but I'm having some trouble:
All of my records contain a parameterless `class function Create:
TWhateverRecord; static;`.
Now, when I try to contain one within the other, I'm stumbling across
this compiler error:
Error: Overloaded identifier "CREATE" isn't a function
I guess this is because both records now have a `Create` function
with the same signature. But how can I resolve that conflict?
You cannot, it is a shortcoming of composed records. There is no way to
distinguish between the various methods. Although the message needs
improvement.
I guess you can help yourself with a record helper:
TWhateverRecordHelper = record helper for TWhateverRecord
public
class function Create: TWhateverRecord; static;
end;
