Indeed that's exactly my point: it is currently as usefull as a crippled C++ front end for FPC because a crippled front end would probably fail on compiling any only slightly complex C++ library. But: getting the cppclass support etc. into shape is much easier than a full fledged C++ front end. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
