I would like to use TObjectList from Contnrs (because it occurs in
some Delphi application that I wish to compile with FreePascal).
There are two problems:
(1) The compiler does not find the unit Contnrs. It turns out
that this unit resides in
/usr/lib/fpc/2.0.1/units/i386-linux/fcl/contnrs.*
which the compiler does not find by itself (it does find Classes in
.../rtl/classes.*).
Of course, I can change my fpc.cfg, but shouldn't this just work?
Or should I do something else to use FCL units?
(2) The FCL (RTL?) documentation does not mention Contnrs (it does mention
Classes).
It would be useful to include a link on "FCL - Free Component Library"
(fcl/fcl.html) to the online documentation
<http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/index.html>
However, it is not completely clear to me where the boundary is between
RTL and FCL. Classes is listed under FCL, and is documented under RTL.
Classes is RTL. I will update the web page.
All non-visual VCL components (or their equivalents) will end up in the
FCL. The classes unit is an exception, since it is tightly integrated
with the Compiler/RTL. The division is compatible to Kylix/Delphi 7 or
higher.
