Hi, the new FPC CVS release of 29/11 forbids delphi / kylix type of library use
eg -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- interface function QObjectList_create: QObjectListH; cdecl; overload; function QObjectList_create(list: QObjectListH): QObjectListH; cdecl; overload; implementation function QObjectList_create(list: QObjectListH): QObjectListH; cdecl; external QtShareName name QtNamePrefix + 'QObjectList_create2'; function QObjectList_create: QObjectListH; cdecl; external QtShareName name QtNamePrefix + 'QObjectList_create'; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- is forbidden now and generates a "Error: Can't declare procedure as EXTERNAL" when compiling. Apparently the external directive has to be moved to the INTERFACE section. I do not know why this has changed (perhaps a very good reason), but to me it seems not so good: 1) This is not Delphi/Kylix compatible (just try to compile Qt.pas) 2) This breaks a lot of existing code, especially bindings ( I will need to move 3283 external directives in my qte binding) And most importantly: 3) This way the interface gets cluttered with implementation details like "name QtNamePrefix + 'QObjectList_create2'" kind regards, Den Jean _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
