Re: Cool

You could also use Fake Objects using C Structs or Pascal Records.
Looks a bit messier than true OO code but it works. The balance between OO and procedural code, while still having the power to export from a library. Messier than OO but cooler than OO :-)
I've attached a file which shows an example of a Pascal code with a few Fake Objects using plain records. Private data in the fake object is accessible if you want to shoot your foot, but is labelled very clearly using _private. Similar things have been done in the C language using _private or private_.
Call me messy but this was just a little experiment of mine. Note how I fake "self". Objects have a self available and in order to make "self" available using records/structs, you must pass a dummy Self parameter throughout some of the functions.
The example file attached shows how to use a Pointer to a record or a regular record without being a pointer. See FakeObject versus TRecord in the attached file. EXE demo is included on win32 - I'll make a linux elf some time later.
This example was done in delphi but should be easily compiled in FPC too. CompactUtils uses true objects, ignore that - the fakeobject examples are in the FakeObject directory. |
