I have just thought of another approach that you can take to doing this,
although it may be more work that its worth:
In you Delphi code do a
{$L WhatEverItsCalled.OBJ}
function mobileCreateConnection(var connection: THIS_CONNECTION): Integer;
external;
and then you can link to and call the function directly from Delphi. As far
as I know Delphi dones no name mangling on external declarations, and in
fact you have to add underscores if you are linking to a library that has
then included.
The only drawback to this is that if the library code in question calls
standard C library functions that are not included in the library you have a
few issues to deal with. One approach it to duplicate the library functions
in Delphi as stubs that call the equivalent Delphi code (eg, for malloc and
the like), the other approach would be to link in the appropiate BC++ OBJS
files and create whever stubs are needed to do the name mangling, probably
via some assembler code.
It all depend on how the librarty code was originally written, and if its
was carefully designed to facilitate other langauge linking or not.
Cheers, Max.
