This was a > strong argument in the past for doing even crap coding. Not by me, but the FPC developers. I am not interested in Delphi/TP compatability and never was, so I don't care if Delphi/TP code works or not, but I care if code written exclusively in and for FPC continues to work as it did. I think that Delphi is a burden for FPC and Lazarus, but the developers have other opinions, so be it. I don't need a change at all. It may be irritating for a Delphi developer that his code runs slower, but profiling is no secret art and changing a random implementations to a less 'good' but faster one is a matter of minutes. Like people already said, lots of talk about a 'problem' that 10 years noone has seen as one. Another 2 cents R. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
