Quite incorrect. All languages with modern RTTI allow for full object

Hi Jonas,
I am sorry if I have misinterpreted the meaning of the message.
I am just terribly frustrated with the overall state of the FPC :-( .
I even offered to donate our enhanced RTTI API to the FPC community with
very little interest so far :-( .
I really want FPC/Lazarus to become a real
Hi Silvio,
That was not the case when I checked last time ~3-4 months ago :-( .

Well, what frustrates me is that there are always people that come up
with all kinds of fancy
Hmm I read the original message again, and I see it exactly in the same
way.
It simply seems to state that the RTTI in FPC is what it is, because at the
time when they looked at Delphi ( D7 ? ), it was how the RTTI was done.
A lot has changed since then however in Delphi, and FPC seems to

Your API would be welcome, but it's of no use when we don't yet generate
the data your API relies on. And implementing that takes a
Hi Sven,
Thank you!
This is all great news. I perfectly understand, and I also support some open
source projects.
However the dynamic packages have been in the works for at least 5-6 years if I
recall.
If the product does not catch up on at least some of those items, it simply
will become

Hi Hans,
I am sorry to disagree with you.
The attributes in particular allow you to do real magic, and reduce your
code by at least 4 times, and speed up your development up to 10 times.
We have done that in Delphi.
I actually did a session in the PasCon few days on that.
Here is example:
Hi,
I do not have clear picture about initialization of local variables -
are they initialized to some default value or not - and is there a way
to assure that every local variable (including record types) is set to
some default?
Of course the safest approach is to assume that everything

Hi Silvio,
Please contact me at mi...@mitov.com, and I will send it to you.
It is for XE4 and higher only however since older XE versions have some
compiler issues.
It is a new API design from the ground up, making everything extremely easy to
do, fixing some hierarchy design bugs in the Emb.
