Description

TParamStream acts as an all-purpose buffer, which allows any type of data to be passed between 2 apps, an app and dll, or can be used as a FIFO data stack. It is a part of the wildfireZ Plugins SDK, hence the filenames of the .pas files, but is being offered as a seperate component. HireDataTime functions are optional, and also included.

Description

Add plugins capability to an app, convert existing DLLs to plugins, or use as a backend for scripted applications. WildfireZ plugins are hot-swappable at runtime, and support advanced functionality which bypasses many of the limitations of standard DLLs. Plugins can export properties, methods, events, objects, object properties, and object methods. No need to know function declarations ahead of time, exported plugin functions are declared when the plugin is loaded. Function overloading is taken to a new level, function parameter types are declared when they are passed. You can also pass/return an unlimited number of parameters during a plugin call. Existing DLLs can be easily converted to plugins by addition of a wrapper to their interface. Full sources, docs, plugins kernel, example plugin, and plugin test app included. The plugins kernel is freeware and released as open source under the GNU General Public License.
