- Sub: Re-Re-MacApp & code resources
-
- James,
-
- Having re-read your original link and the flurry of responses, I think I would
- agree with the following scheme:
-
- Application Code Resource OK?
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- MacApp/ObjectPascal MacApp/ObjectPascal Yes
- MacApp/ObjectPascal non-OOP Yes
- non-OOP MacApp/ObjectPascal No
-
- 1. Would be rather interesting, but is of course no more than the linker
- already does (although of course it incorporates procs into the application,
- whereas your glue would need to supplant that). However, I cannot see why you
- would want to do it, as you may as well have object files & link them - I
- thought half the aim of OOP.
-
- 2. Should be no different with MacApp than with anything else - and extensible
- applications (in the way that Quark Xpress, MacroMind Director Interactive,
- Prograph, etc., are) should be no harder than ever - I would be very interested
- in progress in this, as I am thinking of trying it myself!
-
- 3. Is surely the problem referred to by Kurt & Keith (in that infamous Tech
- Note!), which does not currently sound circumventable. However, I am not sure
- why anyone would want to do it, unless they were trying to implement a DA or
- the like (which I think is a rather inappropriate use for MacApp?).
-
- Regards,
- Howard.
