There is a number of languages (naming VBA for example) that can use interfaces, but not pointers. Do you forget that Firebird is used by Libre Office? They use interfaces, not pointers. Make their life easier and they will pay back. Can you name a language/compiler which can work with your hand-made VMT and can't with standard one? > This will cause a need to support both interfaces in the future. Nope. As I said many times: this interface is just a first approach, test shoot. You can declare it unsupported from the beginning. -- WBR, SD. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Firebird-Devel mailing list, web interface at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-devel
