It's rather old in fact though still in its infancy. Improving it a little bit was one of the first patches I had done for FPC (back in 2009 or so), though not much has happened since then. The only code of note is the tests that exist in $fpcdir/tests/test/cg/tcppcl*.pp Essentially only static methods of GCC C++ code are currently supported. The next step would be instantiation and the vtables. (Should you want to continue this topic I'd suggest a new thread in fpc-devel) Regards, Sven _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
