In Delphi I can use the new extended RTTI support to build a list of all TForm descendants in my application (TRttiContext.GetTypes). Is there any way to do the same thing in Free Pascal without having to explicitly add each class to a list?
Free Pascal does not yet support the extended RTTI, so the answer is: No.
I do have an intermediate class that all of our other forms descend from, so I can add something there if necessary, and I don't need it to be compatible with Delphi.
In theory all classes that can be read from e.g. an LFM file are registered with the RTL's streaming system. So please check whether the corresponding functions can help you. You can find them in $fpcdir/rtl/objpas/classes/classesh.inc around line 1938 (look for "RegisterClass").
