[fpc-devel] Multiple Helpers for a type

Hi Sven! (and perhaps others...)

A while ago (Aehm.. Feb 2013) you announced that type helpers are available for FreePascal. Which is great news ;-)

You also menitioned that there is a limitation,

"As with class and type helpers only one helper for a given type can be active"

but reading on, there was also hope ....


Future developments:
...
"Allow that multiple helpers are active for one type at a single time."


I now exactly hit that issue, I have a set of 'basic' typehelpers that I wanted to extend in a second unit, but unfortunately this does not work, the newly defined type-helpers do not allow me to access the
functions defined in the 'basic' typehelper, so this approach is not possible....


Are those future development plans already reality and I did simply miss the correct modeswitch or is this still on the ToDo List?

If it's todo, are there already any plans on when this could get fixed?


Thank you,

Michael
