Indeed, but even leaving the very unpleasant license aside, depending on third party libraries depending on libc is an issue on linux and an even bigger issue on windows not to mention rare platforms like amiga or msdos. While using libffi might work for the platforms you are mainly using, for most other platforms third party dependencies are a pain. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - [email protected] http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
