Talk:HPP emit (Delphi)

I would probably say "a specified string" rather than "a specified symbol" since HPPEMIT can be used to emit anything: a comment, a #include directive, etc, etc.

And I would probably add a semicolon to the sample mentioned:

  Example: {$HPPEMIT 'typedef double Weight;' }.

Please add some info about the new (to XE5) {$HPPEMIT NOUSINGNAMESPACE} directive. It tells the Delphi compiler not to generate the "using namespace <unit-name>;" typically seen at the end of the .HPP generated from a .PAS unit. This directive avoids polluting the global namespace and can be very helpful in avoiding ambiguities. The same effect can be achieved by defining the DELPHIHEADER_NO_IMPLICIT_NAMESPACE_USE macro. However, the latter may cause failures in cases where code does not use qualified names (like event handlers generated by the IDE).
