I'm afraid I have seriously bad experiences with interfaces in FPC
How so? I'm not aware of any outstanding bugs with interfaces in FPC. Even
the compiler uses them now (only for whole-program optimization though, so
usually you won't test them).
Well, e.g.
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=12778
In addition to what is described there, the API to retrieve interfaces seems
to have changed over time, because I sent code to some other people in the
full conviction that it would compile out of the box, but that was definitely
not the case. It cost me days of checking, installing, recompiling :(
Another point was trying to get the Mozilla API working. All code works in
Delphi, but fails horribly in FPC. I should check this again, maybe it has
improved now. Available time is the biggest constraint :(
I'll try to reproduce all problems I had and insert bug reports for them.
Michael.
