Seit Delphi 7 wurden die Fähigkeite von Record's erweitert zu mehr klassenähnlichen Strukturen mit Properties, Methoden und verschachtelten Typen. Zum Beispiel:

type
   TMyRecord = record
     type
       TInnerColorType = Integer;
     var
       Red: Integer;
     class var
       Blue: Integer;
     procedure printRed();
     constructor Create(val: Integer);
     property RedProperty: TInnerColorType read Red write Red;
     class property BlueProp: TInnerColorType read Blue write Blue;
 end;

implementation

 constructor TMyRecord.Create(val: Integer);
 begin
   Red := val;
 end;

 procedure TMyRecord.printRed;
 begin
   Writeln('Red: ', Red);
 end;

Für den C++Builder konvertiert DelphiXE2Cpp11 dies zu:

struct TMyRecord
{
  typedef int TInnerColorType;
  int Red;
  static int Blue;
  void __fastcall printRed();
  __fastcall TMyRecord(int val);
  __property TInnerColorType RedProperty = { read = Red, write = Red };
  /*static */__property TInnerColorType BlueProp = { read = Blue, write = Blue };

TMyRecord() {}
};

---------------

int TMyRecord::Blue = 0;

__fastcall TMyRecord::TMyRecord(int val)
: Red(val)
{
}

void __fastcall TMyRecord::printRed()
{
  { Write(L"Red: "); WriteLn(Red); };
}

Für andere Compiler als dem C++Builder wird der Code folgendermaßen übersetzt:

struct TMyRecord
{
  typedef int TInnerColorType;
  int Red;
  static int Blue;
  void printRed();
  TMyRecord(int val);
  /*property RedProperty : TInnerColorType read Red write Red;*/
  TInnerColorType ReadPropertyRedProperty() { return Red;}
  void WritePropertyRedProperty(int Value){Red = Value;}
  /*property BlueProp : TInnerColorType read Blue write Blue;*/
  static TInnerColorType ReadPropertyBlueProp() { return Blue;}
  static void WritePropertyBlueProp(int Value){Blue = Value;}
  void InitMembers(){Red = 0;}

TMyRecord() {InitMembers();}
};

---------------------

int TMyRecord::Blue = 0;

TMyRecord::TMyRecord(int val)
: Red(val)
{
}

void TMyRecord::printRed()
{
{ Write(L"Red: "); WriteLn(Red); };
}
