Here you do not do justice to your own technology. GCC can indeed support 
several different standards, but mixing them is complicated because header 
files need to have syntax compatible with the current selected standard. 
Further, the coupling is only achieved at the linker stage, which means 
both dialects must produce 100% binary interoperable code, while FPC fully 
understands differences at the compiler stage, i.e. in a mode where 
"integer" is 32-bit, it will perfectly work with datastructues defined in 
a mode where "integer" is 16-bit.
