I've been beavering away at a fix for
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=37013 and I've run into
something unexpected. When I try to build rtl-extra with my proposed
patch applied, I get compiler errors for things like the use of result
variables and var/out variables. I'm so used to these being available
that I quite forgot there are modes where they're not.
My question is, first, what mode is the compiler using, and second, is
this required for portability to other platforms?
Or am I completely misunderstanding this?
Example error messages:
sockets.inc(497,5) Error: Identifier not found "Result"
sockets.inc(510,53) Fatal: Syntax error, ":" expected but "identifier
RES" found
for this definition:
function convert_hextet(const s: ShortString; out res: Word): Boolean;
It's not a big deal to rewrite around these, but first I want to make
sure I am correctly diagnosing the issue.
