Hi All, A few of questions 1. When using the "external" keyword in GPC, do you have to specify the "name" keyword or does it default to the function name like in Delphi? 2. When defining function pointers, the Gnu Pascal compiler complains if I specify attribute(cdecl); For example type TSDL_Mixer = function( param1 : PSDL_Sound; param2 : Pointer ) : integer; attribute( cdecl );// <--- I get a compilation error here How do I specify the calling convention of a function pointer in Gnu Pascal? 3. If I have installed the Dev Pascal IDE how do I update to the latest snapshot so that I can start using the new keywords. Thanks, Dominique http://www.DelphiGamer.com := go on, write a game instead;
