Re: [twsocket] Plans for ICS and iOS?

 That was my plan last year, but then EMB crippled Delphi for their NextGen
compiler IMO. Looking at XE3's source code it becomes clear that there will
be no more Pointers, only one string type etc..  in NextGen which seemed to
be required for their already announced mobil studio. So I for one gave up
that plan, (no Pointers = no Arno coding ICS/Delphi).

Wow, boo.  Thanks much for the quick response, though.  :)

  I would take a look as lazarus 1.x could handle ICS no problem.

You are welcome to try ICS with lazarus and make the changes required to
support Lazarus. If you do, please be sure to start with ICS-V8, the latest
version and take the source code directly out of the SVN repository.

 Hello,
 
 afaik pointers are still present in next gen compiler but shouldn't be
 used as liberately as in the past. Only use them when necessary for
 certain APIs etc.
 
 But where do you have this information from?

It's my guess from current XE3 source code. Take a look, for instance,
at SysUtils.TPtrWrapper, SysUtils.TMarshal.

[twsocket] Plans for ICS and iOS?

2012-10-24 Thread Hoby Smith 
Hello.

 

Now that ICS supports both Windows and MAC OS X via FireMonkey (FM2), do you
have any plans to support iOS targets in the future as well?  Or, are you
waiting for the future XE3/4/5.2 or whatever that will eventually include
the new native non-Win target compilers?

 

Thanks much. and you guys are awesome!  J
