That's sort of a contradictio in terminis :) I'm not aware of a list
of "still to be documented features" either. It's best to file bug
reports against the documentation when you encounter such omissions.
As for compatibility with later releases of Delphi (2007 - 2009
etc), how far
is FPC going to go?
Delphi 2009-style generic/unicode string support is planned, but other
than that there are no fixed plans at this time afaik.
While I don't know whether the FPC team envisage the FPC
comiler morphing into FPC for .NET,
Unlikely, although a .NET code generator could always be added at one
point.
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?
No concreate ones. They can always be added if someone is interested
in doing the work and maintaining them, of course.
