> So in general, one should not use managed types in the prototype of an exported (public) function?
Bingo. At least not until we have properly sharable RTL. > my thought was that it would be possible to pass along these managed types (especially string, as it is a pointer internally) to another pascal function (a callback in my case). You can still pass pointer to its first element as a PChar, treating it read-only in the caller for safety reason (though it's possible to make it writable as well, but the safety burden is propagated to the caller). -- View this message in context: http://free-pascal-general.1045716.n5.nabble.com/Question-about-functions-returning-a-string-tp5720544p5720552.html Sent from the Free Pascal - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
