Real

Real.member
marks a member in a class that is not called polymorphically. It is only important from where the member is called, not what type an object has.
  • The builtin behavior of Real is not affected.

We define a set of classes. The member a is polymorphic at all levels due to the Virtual qualifier, while b is only virtual in base and child (Real interrupts polymorphism). Finally, c is virtual in base and child and again, separated from this, in grandchild and greatgrandchild.

Because the polymorphism is discontinued for b, it ends in class child for all functions located below grandchild. From grandchild on, b is non-polymorphic and gg reads it always from grandchild.

For c, the polymorphism is interrupted, but continued again in grandchild. The very last value is due to polymorphism.
