I need some advice:

I have a few c++ source files containing conversion functions. Is it at all possible to compile them into my fpc project?

I imagine I have seen this in kylix 3. Is this possible with fpc? Am I under the influence of a pipe dream?

In our previous episode, Desmond Coertzen said:

Wrap it in plain C and stuff it in a library with libstdC++ linked to it. Then write a Pascal header for it, and use it like any C library.

I imagine I have seen this in kylix 3.

Could be, but that is because Borland also has a BCB C++ compiler that is kept strictly in line with Delphi from a compatibility aspect.

In BCB there is also specific syntax to declare stuff Delphi compatible.

Please accept my apologies to the ENTIRE FPC TEAM.

I should have never asked this. I was weak! (Pipe dream).

I have realized that this is the freepascal project, and all effort should be done to keep things in pascal. I am myself a big pascal fan, and I have forsaken my values and fundamentals. Please feel free to slap me.

I have stopped my whining and ported the code from c++ to fpc.

Problem solved.
