That's good news, does Delphi need to add a boolean8/16/32 some day,
or
already has?
I don't know. FPC needed it for GTK interfacing, but FPC doesn't use
it.
The main headers interfaced by Delphi are WINAPI, and they have
longbool.
As I often switch between using fpc and delphi all the time, almost
50/50
More importantly, if you still use ancient D7, would you actually buy a
new
version (for Eur 1500 or so) if they added it ?
I use ancient versions (D5 and D7) but also have purchased the latest
Tokyo and use latest too..
No I would not buy it just for that, but, I wonder if I should ring them
an email on their quality central and feature request it, if they
haven't got that figured out yet. This header translation stuff, is
still bothering us years later since the 1990's already, and many errors
in programs exist because of these damn headers that aren't perfectly
translated ;-(
