Qt is a commercial product - more 'sellable' to the Ties.

Perl does that already, though I'm not sure about the mechanism behind that, but it should be doable. And GNAT has separate pragmas for C++. I tried a rather complicated test with a commercial product, but hit the wall when the precompilled binary was compilled with the SUN compiler and I was not able to look further into the Vtables stuff to see if that was the issue. I suspect that this goes away if both the C++ and Ada code generator is gcc. -Frode -- ^ Frode Tenneb� | email: frodet@nvg.org | Frode@IRC ^ | with Standard.Disclaimer; use Standard.Disclaimer; |
