Looks like it has packages also, and they beat CodeGear to Win64 :-)

We have been waiting for generics in Delphi´s Pascal since Delphi 1 and it
seems that we are going to wait a little bit more (maybe years) for
enjoying generics in Delphi.

It seems ot to be related with what we (Delphi users) understand
by "packages". See...

Search result by Google
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Afreepascal.org++fppkg+package+manager

"fppkg: package manager like smart/yum/yast/rpm with download capacity."

Too bad that it still does not offer "runtime packages", so
DLLs and applications only compile to full binaries. \\:^(

I've read somewhere they will do that someday, but it's
not present to their official roadmap. When they come to
provide such feature, I surely will make a port of SmartPlugin
to FPC - a dream of mine.

Taking the opportunity to say my site has been rewritten.

.... 64 bit ... cross platform ... advanced compiler.

The Delphi compiler is starting to look seriously obsolete.

If it weren't for:

1. The huge amount of existing Delphi code, which varies in ease of porting to
FPC / LCL

2. The somewhat unreliable behaviour of the Lazarus IDE and the LCL

3. A few quirks in the LCL (such as incompatible TBitmaps)

Delphi would be toast.

I wonder how long it will take the FPC / Lazarus crew to fix / improve these
issues ?

Can you not compile a DLL and use it from an FPC EXE?

Dean, you can compile and use DLLs, but not build with runtime
packages, and this "kills" the object sharing scheme

There are some tricks around this, see
http://www.freepascal.org/contrib/delete.php3?ID=543

GetMemoryManager and SetMemoryManager is used.
Run time type information (RTTI) doesn't work as far as I know, though.

I've been using Ansistrings and automated types in DLL/DSO's for years now with
getmemorymanager and setmemorymanager, and even the Powerful Web Utilities 1.6.0.1 or
1.6.0.2 uses this technique.
