calling C code from Delphi

[dummzeuch 1505]

If I remember correctly, C++ Builder can also compile Delphi units and allows C / C++ code to call Delphi code. The other way round is not possible.

I assume that this is still the case?

 

So if I want to call C code, I have to compile that code to an .obj file and link that to the Delphi program, which means that debugging that code requires a C++ Builder project (or some other C compiler + debugger). Correct? (If I don't want to single step through assembler code, that is).

Compile the code into a dll and link that. Directly linking obj files is possible but it can be tricky. Especially for 64 bit code where the compiler doesn't respect exception table meta data.
