No, it uses fcl-passrc. A third, more limited parser exists inside ptop and other highlighting and source beautifying tools. > I don't want to create 'yet another object pascal parser', and I can't > use existing Delphi ones, because it needs to support the FPC language > syntax (and support for include files) specifically. Afaik include files are compatible to Dlephi, except that FPC afaik recompiles units if they change. But yes, I agree that on average Delphi tools don't support comfortably what the delphi compiler suports. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
