This is not important message.
I posted such a message as bug report 4986: ********************** Running "fpc 1.pp" makes "1.exe", running "fpc 1.pp." makes "1.pp.exe", running "fpc 1.pp.." makes "1.pp..exe", running "fpc 1.pp.........." makes "fpc 1.pp..........exe". ********************** Ok, it's not a big bug, but I've got answer: "Please use the mailing list for questions. The exe replaces the extension of the file. The extension is defined as everything after the last '.'" I did not explicitly mention, that there were no files "1.pp..", "1.pp..." etc. The compiler processed the same file each time. It is in one way expected: under win32 files 1.pp, 1.pp.. etc are all (without tricks) the same thing: trailing dots do not matter. But: for the same source file (with the same name) I get different exe-s, without specifying output file name (by the way, object files and others are processed the same way). It is not important, but obviously not very correct. With some bug classification I wouldn't post it as "critical bug", I'd post it as "funny note". (I understand, that bug tracking system isn't installing itself and don't expect it to change in a matter of months.) Sorry for inconveniences (laconic was I in bug report). _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
