Hm. BCB isn't a Delphi compiler ;-).

It has been many /years/ since I've done anything with BCB. Somehow, it takes a .PAS file and compiles it. I'm pretty sure this isn't the C++ compiler, but rather a Delphi compiler that is included with BCB.

Yes agreed, BCB is able to compile *.pas files. But is that part of the compiler needed for C++ VCL compilation ? At least there's no Pascal file involved.

I'm sure someone will correct me... ;)

*g* - anyways to close the loop, the Delphi compiler is IIRC written in C++. So technically all VCL sources (Pascal and BCB C++) could be compiled with any C++ compiler, though this might need a 2 step process. :-9 ;-)
