I was on freenode irc #fpc earlier and asked some questions but not enough people were online to get an answer.<br><br>My question was/is: <br><br>**** Will there ever again come a point where FPC attempts to bring in more compatibility with Delphi? Specifically, in regards to operator overloading and generic language syntax. **** <br>
<br>I'd really like to use generics in my cross platform graphic widgets toolkit and have it continue to work with both Delphi and FPC, but as of right I can't tolerate the enormous amounts of {$IFDEFs} required to do so.<br>
<br>For those interested, here is a video showcasing a very old version (circa 2004) of my toolkit. Compiles on Windows (Delphi 7) and Linux (FPC).<br><br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqeFZ2zhszU">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqeFZ2zhszU</a><br>
