I'm not deep in the C++ scene, Nico is probably better at answering this, but if I would have to guess probably a matter of demand. Till now legacy requirements outweight demand for a solution to this. Also because most C++ don't know or don't want to know the problems. _______________________________________________ fpc-other maillist - fpc-other@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-other
