I have some Delphi source code I want to use in a BCB project. Can
Delphi code call C++ functions and vice versa? Can these functions
pass and return data like a pointer or integer or char? Can data like
an array of char or an integer be shared between C++ and Delphi code?
Does it make any difference if it's BCB6 or BDS2006?
Thanks

You can pass most types straight back and forth - ints, strings, class
pointers.
Delphi calling C++ is rather more tricky, but can be done.
a lot simpler. You've got a full Delphi toolchain in the box, rather than
the limited one which comes with BCB6.

a C++ project, the Delphi compiler will produce an .hpp header file for the
Delphi code that you can then include into your C++ code.
It is not easy to have Delphi call C++ functions, however.
Yes.
Yes. But you have to be careful about it. Arrays work differently in
Delphi than they do in C++ - particularly dynamic arrays.

that seems to work. Is there any reason not to do it?
Thanks.
