new (new slot in vtable)
In a /clr compilation, new indicates that a virtual member will get a new slot in the vtable; that the function does not override a base class method.
Remarks
new causes the newslot modifier to be added to the IL for the function. For more information about newslot, see:
The following sample shows the effect of new.
Example
// newslot.cpp
// compile with: /clr
ref class C {
public:
virtual void f() {
System::Console::WriteLine("C::f() called");
}
virtual void g() {
System::Console::WriteLine("C::g() called");
}
};
ref class D : public C {
public:
virtual void f() new {
System::Console::WriteLine("D::f() called");
}
virtual void g() override {
System::Console::WriteLine("D::g() called");
}
};
ref class E : public D {
public:
virtual void f() override {
System::Console::WriteLine("E::f() called");
}
};
int main() {
D^ d = gcnew D;
C^ c = gcnew D;
c->f(); // calls C::f
d->f(); // calls D::f
c->g(); // calls D::g
d->g(); // calls D::g
D ^ e = gcnew E;
e->f(); // calls E::f
}
C::f() called D::f() called D::g() called D::g() called E::f() called
