@AngusJohnson If this change is too large or if you'd rather not accept the Delphi pointer wrapper interfaces then I can make a smaller PR with just the z-component support on the DLL as well as the Z-fill callback export
Hi Jasper. Thank you for the PR, and from the little I've seen so far, it seems very nicely done (and well commented too). However, it'll probably take me a little while to work through and assimilate all your changes (possibly a week or two), which I'll want to do before I commit. So stay tuned 😁.
Thanks Jasper. I'm still here, but I'm currently caught up with other things.
Added the Z-component and the Z-Fill callback. These are added when USINGZ preprocessor identifier is present Also added inflate for path (code was directly derived from code used for paths).
We depend on this Z-component for our functionality and rather not have a fork that diverges from your repository
This PR also has some contributions we'd like to make. Specifically for the Delphi interfaces to the C++. I added wrappers around the C++ raw pointer types for higher performance for the transmission of data.
You can see most of the code under DLL/Delphi_interface
Consumers rarely need to include Clipper.DLL.Data or Clipper.DLL.Enums since the most commonly used types are aliased in Clipper.DLL.pas
All Clipper Delphi examples were converted to use these interfaces and can be found under DLL/Delphi_TestApps. I moved the test previously in DLL/Delphi_TestApp to a subfolder (DLL/Delphi_TestApp/Test_DLL).
