What i'd like to see is compiler level support for loading dynamic libraries and binding thier functions on demand.
this would mean a lot more flexibility. New features could be used without breaking compatibility with older versions of the library. Version and naming issues could be dealt with at runtime making the final compiled binaries portable! its possible to load libraries on demand now by using dlopen/dlsym (or thier windows equivilents loadlibrary and getprocaddress) manually but its a pita to do involving writing a lot of wrappers manually. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
