By using the necessary IFDEF mechanism in the config file, we can avoid inserting it for windows (which does not need it) or the smaller embedded platforms (which cannot handle it). People that don't need/want this can remove the config setting from the file. All the others leave it as-is and will get their desired conversion mechanisms 'for free'. This way a default choice is made for you on those platforms, but you can still 100% control it.I am very much against this because this means that a default FPC executable would link against libc. And this is far too much only because a few people complain because they didn’t read the docs.
Well, maybe the Lazarus IDE can insert the necessary units, just like it is done for cthreads... Michael.
