Hello Developers I'm a bit puzzled there're 2 units in fpc-xml: xmlcfg and xmlconfg
Both of them declare TXMLConfig class. The interfaces of both classes seems to be quite identical. If one of them is up-kept for backward compatibility, shouldn't it be like: [code] unit xmlcfg; uses xmlconfig; type TXMLConfig = class(xmlconfig.TXMLConfig); [/code] or vice versa?! LCL also provides its own TXMLConfig at Laz_XMLCfg (with the same interface). I'm pretty sure that compiler is not smart enough to smart-link away (similar) classes :) So I guess, there's alway a risk of duplicating code (3 times, by using 3 different TXMLConfigs). So, what unit should an IDE extension and/or LCL components use? xmlconf: is used by LazReport xmlcfg: is used by Grids, XMLPropStorage and the packager (RegisterFCL.pas, but not sure why) Laz_XMLCfg: is used by LazarusIDE, CodeTools, packager (!!) and fpdoceditor thanks, dmitry -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
