[fpc-pascal] mixing C and Pascal and function pointers

[Ken G. Brown]

I've been experimenting with calling C routines in a library from Pascal. This seems to work:

In the Pascal source do
	
Procedure croutine;	cdecl; alias : '_croutine'; External;

If there is trouble finding the routines when building, you can give the location of the routines in the Pascal source file with:

{$L libcroutines.a}	

When compiling, the 'lib' is automatically added to the front of the file name for the library source.

So far I have passed an SInt32 to the C routines so maybe you could pass the appropriately sized variable.
 
Good luck.
Ken
