irrklang headers for pascal

[arthurprs]

Today i was programming in c++ and a parter told me to use irrKlang audio lib http://www.ambiera.com/irrklang

i liked a lot¬?, easy to use and very powerfull

so i like to convert the headers to my prefered language

fist i need some help how to c++ -> ObjectPascal types,
what i typed is correct?

and what i do with namespaces in pascal?

namespace irr
{
//! 8 bit unsigned variable.
typedef unsigned char		u8; //byte;

//! 8 bit signed variable.
typedef signed char		s8; //shortint;

//! 8 bit character variable.
typedef char			c8; // char;

//! 16 bit unsigned variable.
typedef unsigned short		u16; //word;

//! 16 bit signed variable.
typedef signed short		s16; //smallint;

//! 32 bit unsigned variable.
typedef unsigned int		u32; //cardinal;

//! 32 bit signed variable.
typedef signed int		s32; //integer;

//! 32 bit floating point variable.
typedef float				f32; //single;

//! 64 bit floating point variable.
typedef double				f64; //double;
} // end namespace

I have noticed that the headers are different (c++ headers), i don't know from where to start... dead before born?

According to Delphi 6 Developer's Guide:
Byte -> unsigned short
Shortint -> unsigned char
Char -> char
Word -> unsigned short
Smallint -> short
Cardinal -> unsigned long
Integer -> int
Single -> float
Double -> double

Hope that helps :!:

You can kind of emulate namespaces in pascal by naming the unit where the definitions are residing the equivalent name as used in the c++ namespace

If some of functions returns or require C++ classes for parameters then you will have to write wrapper library and headers for that wrapper. Look at IrrPascal wrapper... it is far from finish, but it can help you start.

The library have a 1 main device class that have all the other classes, functions and procedures,
and yes sometimes function returns classes

I downloaded irrPascal, but you an you explain more wrapper lib?
