Facts: - Michael VC did not originally like the entire idea at all, if I recall correctly. However, he eventually added an implementation of it to Pas2JS that works literally the exact same as my main FPC compiler one does. - Delphi (in the time since, as of version 12 I guess) has added this themselves. Their version is not quite the same (frankly in my opinion, theirs is overall worse than mine, for reasons such as the fact you HAVE to put the closing backticks of a multiline string on their own entire line in Delphi, whereas in my version the closing backticks could appear anywhere and be parsed correctly. And so on and so forth).
Delphi does not support backticks. I guess you mean the odd apostrophs?
I'm as ready as I was several years ago to put this in main FPC if it'll be accepted, however, would people want me to now imitate the Delphi version (which again did not exist when I originally implemented the functionality for FPC, and again is functionally different from both the unmerged main compiler impl of mine and Michael VCs identical actually-existing impl for Pas2JS). I'd certainly don't really WANT to adapt to the (like I said, worse in my opinion) Delphi version, but I would if I "had" to. So that's why I figured I'd check in to see what people's general thoughts are on all of this nowadays.
Are there cases where ported Delphi code creates a different string literal? Mattias _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
