Is't there a way the FPC compiler can automatically flatten object oriented
code?
As a test I created a new library project and included the
fpgui_toolkit.pas unit which contains references to all units available in
fpGUI Toolkit. I had to add the -fPIC compiler parameter and in
successfully compiled a fpgui_toolkit.so file.
I know I can't use that file, because no functions have been exported. But
viewing the .so file with Midnight Commander (pressing F3) shows me what
looks like a 100% flattened API of fpGUI Toolkit - it's probably debug
information. But doesn't that mean the compiler could also do something
similar an instead generate exported methods (flattened API).
See the URL for a image of what Midnight Commander shows me:
