Specifies a SOM class's metaclass.

This pragma is compatible with the following platform targets:

68K

PowerPC

NEC V800

Intel x86

MIPS

Embedded 68K

This pragma is only available for Mac OS using C++ code.

A metaclass is a special kind of SOM class that defines the implementation of other SOM classes. All SOM classes have a metaclass, including metaclasses themselves. By default, the metaclass for a SOM class is SOMClass. If you want to use another metaclass, use the SOMMetaClass pragma:

The metaclass must be a descendant of SOMClass. Also, a class cannot be its own metaclass. That is, class and metaclass must name different classes.

This pragma is ignored if the direct_to_SOM pragma, described in Targeting Mac OS, is off.

This pragma does not correspond to an option in any settings panel.
