Autogeneration has one disadvantage: it just a waste of time. You somehow

All this heat is not useful. Yes, of course Delphi and Free Pascal use a
non-standard ABI. That's because there is no standard. Likewise, C++
compilers also have a "non-standard" ABI.
In the absence of standards all we can do is default to the lowest
common denominator and, in practice, that us
Currently jaybird is handling isc_arg_interpreted the same as
isc_arg_string and assumes it is a message parameter for the message of
the previous error code.
However I was just debugging the handling of the statusvector for the
new native client wrapper in Jaybird and I noticed - when trying t

Someone told abstract Delphi classes was compatible with the C++ vtable,
but FPC wasn't.
I did some tests and detected that FPC class with or without virtual
