Hello, Delphi 2010 has changed the RTTI mechanism, and it is said to be much more usable than the previous one. (see here for example: http://www.malcolmgroves.com/blog/?p=476) Some interesting tools are using this new approach, like DelphiOnRails: http://code.google.com/p/delphionrails/ Curr

Maybe a better question is: why do you want to know the alignment of different data types? Since it can change depending on which platform you are compiling for, writing your code assuming a particular alignment is generally a very bad idea. Not only want to know the alignment of different data

I think FPC in general could benefit from a native FPC script. They have a link to a port of REM objects but the website said it was with flaws and tests were needed under linux. A light-weight scripting engine would need to be restricted to methods and object code. And perhaps some level of acc

I once wrote a script engine that generated bytecodes. At the time it was harder due to defective variants support (something like that). Now it would be easier. 2010/12/10 Andrew Brunner : > Hi there, > > I'm considering pascal scripting engines in stead of hot-swaped compiled > stored objects/
