First: I don't see an urgent need for such draconic measures. Second: I don't see a good solution, exactly because the whole framework was not designed for this. E.g. an Observer pattern typically uses interfaces, and interfaces are not designed into the framework. > I am not interested in the actual implementation of the observer > pattern, just the means by which you think we can 'inject' one. > Please don't bother questioning the need/desirability of > this feature, consider it a given. And that you call "constructive" ? But anyway, I don't see any sane solution to inject it. Including proposed ones modifying base classes. That is the whole point. If you want this, start over, and do it properly. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
