Struct Inheritance maybe possible?

Heyo,

I am wondering, would it be theoretically possible to implement inheritance for structs?

like:

type
  TBase = record
    public
       A: integer;
       B: char;

      method MyAbstractMethod; abstract;
  end;

 TSub = record(TBase);
    public
       C: string[10];
     
    method MyAbstractMethod; override;
    begin
       writeln('I WAS OVERRIDEN!!');
    end;
 end;

Would supercool to find out :slight_smile:

cheers

You’re right. field inheritance does work. method overriding and virtuality won’t and can’t work, because as you say,
