The difference is clearly polymorphism. If you want shallow reparenting, use setparent(), if you want per class behaviors, use the polymorphic version

Ah, yes, verifying, also notice, that RS_Entity::reparent is absolutely the same as RS_Entity::setParent;

    virtual void reparent(RS_EntityContainer *parent){
        this->parent = parent;
    }

void setParent(RS_EntityContainer *p){
        parent = p;
    }
