Essentially you haven't answered my concern, just spread more vaguery around, as usual. Again: Combining two languages into one compiler doesn't magically make them interoperable. And the only existing example doesn't exactly have a crack record on using C++ FROM Delphi (the otherway around is different, I'm told, not elegant, but doable). Basically it would mean implementing the innerards of C++ into the whole existing (pascal) compiler too, so that the pascal compiler can access C++ objects, not just a two bit extra parser. (which is also not so simple as it sounds, since probably backends mod to execute C++ in a compliant way are also possible). Please stop echoing sentiment without any technical underpinnings. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
