What is the best way for a discussion on this? Should I create a feature
request in bugtracker?
First create a desired implementation with a patch.
I would do it, if I only know where to start. Unfortunately are my
experiences in compiler programming equal to zero. Is there a document
how to start? Maybe a architecture diagram?
I started from compiler sources. You need mostly parser part - that
units start from 'p'. For example object types (objects, classes,
interfaces, ... too) parsing is located in pdecobj.pas.
Abstract modifier parsing is located in parse_object_options method -
see for include(.., oo_is_abstract).
Then you need something similar like a warning which is raised when a
class with abstract members is created. Search where this warning is
raised. Add something similar but with check for abstract class there.
But only not for delphi modes.
BTW: How long does it normally take, until a patch is integrated (or
declined)? Two month ago I submitted a patch for a bug in SQLite3db. Is
it better to wait or to inquire?
Sorry for the dumb questions, this is new territory for me.
If patch from a bug tracker is not noticed just write a mail. Most of
developers read their mails although not everybody check the bug tracker
every day.
You will get valuable experience in any case even if your patch is
rejected ;)
Best regards,
