I don’t understand why there's so must resistance to letting programmers make ugly macro hacks if they want to. Why does anyone care if I have some edge case and I need a solution quickly which macros fulfill? The compiler should be helpful, not force into some programming paradigm and best practices etc.. etc… Regards, Ryan Joseph _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
