You can create the same effect using trampolines, but unless fpc has a
way to create trampolines you will be forced to use assembler (I was
using them in assembler in the past with Delphi). With this
trampolines you create a different callback pointer for each callback
and in this callback the Self pointer is "hardcoded" and the "class
callback" called, which creates the effect that the callback is
connected with the class.

I do not know if all platforms support code execution in data memory :-?
