Hi,
one minute ago I read on the "future plans" page that support for interfaces is planned for 2.0.
What type of interfaces are these, may I look at it like the implementation in java? Or does it refer to the windows IWhatever-stuff?
TIA,
Marc

These are already implemented in the 1.9.x series.

No like in Delphi.

It is related to that yes, focussed on the use of interfaces for external objects. However the concept is generic, and could be reused for e.g. corba too.
To see really strange stuff can be done with interfaces check out decal, in CVS, projects/contrib/decal or so.

Interfaces are independent of java/windows.
It is the language interface support as in Delphi.

Sounds good to me. What I would really like to use is some sort of multiple inheritance (yes, the bad word ;). But I really do not expect to see java interfaces in fpc because the main goal is delphi compatibility, I think.

Okay, I'll next question would have been how
fpc/NOT(Windows) would benefit from this technique, but I'll see. :)
Thank you both,
Marc
