[fpc-devel] How to call (access) to an external procedure!

[Geno Roupsky]

This particular function could be declared as this:

TEnvironment = class
public
  class function GetEnvironment(const Name: PChar): PChar; cdecl;
end;

class function GetEnvironment(const Name: PChar): PChar; cdecl; external
'c' name 'getenv';

Of course this is not very useful but the idea for methods is this. Just
keep in mind that methods have a hidden parameter Self pointing to the
object. When method is declared as cdecl it is the first parameter.

Tia,

Geno Roupsky
