Hello! I have a record containing a set of variables. This record should now be accessed from an application developed in C (through a shared library). Because Pascal records are incompatible with C structs, I could write a get_value() function for each value in the record, e.g. if I have:
TTestRec = record val1: String; val2: Integer; end; I would have to write functions like: function testrec_get_val1(rec: TTestRec): String; function testrec_get_val2(rec: TTestRec): Integer; Now the record consists of a lot more than just two properties. The GObject type system knows a much better way for accessing properties: (refer to http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/unstable/gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#g-object-get ) I just write the property name as string and add a pointer to the result type: int i; g_object_get(testrec, "val2", &i, NULL); Is there a possibility to get the same function in Pascal to? That I just define one get_value() function which receives the property name as string and outputs the value of it? Thanks & kind regards Matthias _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
