Forward declarations are redundant - they exist purely for the benefit
of the compiler.
I agree. I hate prototyping. That's why you use top-down design.
What's wrong with that?
Begin..End is redundant - you have to indent them to make em readable
anyways.
Not at all; I certainly don't indent them, and I'm a fanatical
indenter. I don't think you're going to convince anyone to change THIS
part of Pascal--it's essential. You change begin and end, and you just
don't have Pascal anymore. Plus the only reason I love FPC is because
it is faithful to older code. If it breaks my code, I'll likely go back
to a previous version and I bet there are enough people who feel this
way that there will be the beginning of another project based on the
older FPC code.
manual memory management of tobjects is redundant as you can get good
performance with ref counting tobjects.
Oh yes, this old argument. I remember reading this on the list before.
I guess it's still on your mind ;) I really don't know about the pros
and cons for ref counting, so maybe someone can explain it.
