I want to do a pivot away from the macro stuff to ask another question. Since
I’ve wanted to contribute to the compiler for so long and I finally have a
little understanding I’d like to know if there’s anything minor I could do,
that isn’t offensive to the compiler team.

If someone else assumes that assert() works as expected - i.e. throws an

Here’s a macro I like from C. It captures the assert expression and prints it
back out into the console (it would halt the program also). Can this be done in

I would like to use that for objfpc.
Is there a command line flag to enable a modeswitch?
