Really? How does accessing Qt then work? Do you know more than me? Did I
dream that Lazarus has a Qt widget set? Even more: who does the
compilation of e.g.
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk/tests/test/cg/tcppcl1.pp in the
daily testsuite runs?
The tests (which cover only part of the cppclass support in FPC) are one
of the reality checks for your hypotheses about the usefulness of a
crippled C++ front end. And they show: crippled C++ support is not
needed, cppclasses is basically not used by anybody as far as I know.
cppclass is not used, because it's not even remotly ready for real world
stuff.
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.
That's what I hope. :D

Sven
