Hi guys, > "strict" is introduced for new delphi compatibility?
A most welcome addition. I'm ashamed to admit that I only found out that it's been included in FPC today. I ran an old VM which has FPC ver 2.2.2 installed, and "strict" is supported! I'm currenly using FPC 2.2.5 What other "jewels" are hidden from "view"? Is there some documentation documenting undocummented features that one can read? As for compatibility with later releases of Delphi (2007 - 2009 etc), how far is FPC going to go? While I don't know whether the FPC team envisage the FPC comiler morphing into FPC for .NET, there are some compiler/language feature specific to .Net that I wouldn't mind having included in FPC. Some features like sealed classes, class constants, class variables, static constructors and destructors, to name a few. Are there plans to implement such features in FPC? I would think that some of the above feature had to be introduced into .Net because a (close to) pure OO impementation does not support global vars, global functions etc. as a hybrid language like Object Pascal does.
