Description

When defining untyped constant in a delphi class with a value, the value gets lost on transfer to the HPP. The HPP contains a member declaration instead of an const delcaration and the const value is lost.

The delphi compiler has no memory for the constant, so the member is never initialized (just to zero, as for all members).

Basicly, the real constant gets an member of the class and the ordinal constant value gets lost.

It is even unclear why the type changes for the constants from shortint to word by a change of the constant value from 99 to 999.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a pascal class and define untyped constants with a defined value inside of the class
2. Create a c++ project using the class
3. look at the constants
