Hello,

a friend of mine is working on a game using Delphi. He has got a problem  
with saving the map-files and I wanted to help him with coding, but, to be  
honest, I never used Delphi before. Now I thought about creating a DLL and  
was wondering, if my friend could use the (D-)classes as I placed them in  
the DLL? Maybe anybody has some expieriences with DLLs and other languages  
(especially Delphi ;) ).

Regards,
Alex

D can't export classes. You have to export functions (with C or Windows 
linkage) and call them from Delphi.

When you export D functions in a DLL, can it still uses garbage collection 
and classes internally?

Could you create "global" classes and wrap their member methods using C 
stdcall functions exposed in the .dll?

I also use Delphi (its GUI designer is excellent), but it would be awesome 
if you could program the logic in D and the GUI in Delphi.
