It is not true. Common Object Model is supported not only in C++ compilers. Current problem is the result of two factors: 1) Our object hierarchy is not compatible with IUnknown that kick Delphi out of game. 2) Those who wrote FPC interface module didn't use CORBA-style interfaces. > - not just the different Object memory layout is the problem, but the > different > memory managers also.

Memory manager is not a problem as long as object are freed in the same module where were created. Reference counting solves this well. -- WBR, SD. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Firebird-Devel mailing list, web interface at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-devel
