There are also other problems with unit-search algorithm in FPC. Some of these problems: http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=15330 http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=10551 Maybe you can take a look at these and come up with some good solution while you are there. Unfortunately, I do not have time to work on these problems at the moment, maybe in a month or so. > > DoDi > > _______________________________________________ > fpc-devel maillist - fpc-de...@lists.freepascal.org > http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel > _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
