This function is used to make parent method calls by the C and C++ language implementation bindings. The somParentNumResolve function returns a pointer to a procedure for performing the specified method. This pointer is selected from the specified method table, which is intended to be the method table corresponding to a parent class.
For C and C++ programmers, the implementation bindings for SOM classes provide convenient macros for making parent method calls (the "parent_" macros).
