11 Types
11.2 Reference types
11.2.6 Delegate types
Paragraph 11 A delegate is a data structure that refers to one or more methods, and for instance methods, it also refers to their corresponding object instances. [Note: The closest equivalent of a delegate in C or C++ is a function pointer, but whereas a function pointer can only reference static functions, a delegate can reference both static and instance methods. In the latter case, the delegate stores not only a reference to the method's entry point, but also a reference to the object instance on which to invoke the method. end note]
Paragraph 21 Delegate types are described in §22. |
