Hello, FPC developers' list.

Can someone tell me what for gtk2 package have this strange defines inside sources:

{$IFNDEF KYLIX}
function gtk_list_store_new(n_columns:gint; args:array of
const):PGtkListStore; cdecl; overload; external gtklib;
function gtk_list_store_new(n_columns:gint):PGtkListStore; cdecl;
overload; varargs; external gtklib;
{$ELSE}
function gtk_list_store_new(n_columns:gint):PGtkListStore; varargs;
cdecl; external gtklib;
{$ENDIF}

I am about KYLIX.

the problem is the ...) construct in C; in FPC this used to be translated by array of const, but Kylix uses the varargs; modifier.

now, for FPC you should also use varargs, so the correct form is function gtk_list_store_new(n_columns:gint):PGtkListStore; varargs; cdecl; external gtklib; both for FPC and Kylix.

You cannot.

Feel free to update the sources. None of the FPC devels has time for this. As far as I remember the GTK 2 sources were donated.

Michael.

How can I use varargs if in fpc svn functions are declared with array of cont?

Btw, returning to gtk2 package. Sources of that package are very old - they used only gtk 2.0 functions, structures and constants. 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8, 2.10 and 2.12 versions were already released. Ofcource I understand that most of users still not using gtk 2.12, but at least gtk 2.4 can be taken as minimal requirement.

Best regards,
Paul Ishenin.
