[fpc-pascal] Automatically exporting C++ API using SWIG??

[Reinier Olislagers]

The recent thread about using C headers made me think about using C++
projects.

Found that the SWIG tool converts C/C++ .h files into glue code and
bindings for e.g. Python, Modula 3... but not Delphi/Object Pascal.

It seems you get an object-oriented binding.

Did see this post from 2010 about Delphi support:

... in a quick browse, couldn't find that branch though.
(Note: the poster's mail address is mentioned in that post)

Perhaps this could be useful for somebody interested in this/needing
this kind of functionality.

Thanks,
