Unless I too am terribly mistaken, Delphi cannot directly use C/C++
source code.
You first create .obj files from C/C++ source code using only Borland's
C/C++ compiler and then link them to your delphi unit.
The above description could be incorrect, though. I vaguely remember
doing something like this (a simple compile from other peoples already
customized-for-purpose code) a couple of decades ago.
I assumed that Lazarus could link in GNU C/C++ code. Is this, or ever will it,
be possible. What is stopping us from doing this?
I don't know about GNU C/C++, but I came across to this recent post in
FPC-devel while doing a search on the Net a couple hours ago.

It may or may not be a starting point for that capability.
