I am making this a separate thread, because it got nothing to do with
the old subject "[Lazarus] CodeTools: what is an "identifier""
The idea discussed there, fails due to the fact that
"ObjectOfClass_BaseFoo.SomeMethod" can only be resolved to that base
class's SomeMethod.
One case where this is annoying is:
procedure TSpecialFoo.OtherMethod;
begin
BaseOnlyMethod();
end;
procedure TBaseFoo.OtherMethod;
begin
SomeMethod();
end;
And SomeMethod exists in both => base and specialised class.
You (the human reader) knows you started in TSpecialFoo => but codetool
doesn't know.
Yet codetool could know.
Codetool could remeber when a "implementation jump happens:
- FROM which class (and even method) it started (if it comes from a
method in a class)
- TO which method
If there:
- was no editing (not even a requirement)
- the next jump starts from within the last "TO"
then the chain is continued
The whole chain needs to be kept => since it go through more than one
method in the base class
Just an idea. (one of many)....
May yet need some fine tuning
