- for anonymous methods exists a branch with an initial
implementation though this is currently on hiatus :(
If i remember correct, core developers stated in mail list discussion
that it was unlikely to be implemented in fpc since diverges from
pascal style coding
Here you need to remember the point of a open source project: if there
is someone who wants it implemented then he/she can implement it. This
was the case here: Some community member stepped up and started to
implement anonymous methods, but then either his time or his motivation
left him...
Please note that it was the same with me: I wanted to see class helpers
implemented which I did. And now see where I am: I'm the one who mainly
works on generics (and helper types) and have also revived a platform
thought lost forever...
- what do you miss for interfaces?
Delegation: http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=4842
I personally don't consider this a missing feature (after all delegation
itself works already), but more a bug...
BTW: i just hope that this new syntax features does not affect the
generated code for those not using it
Most of the features should not influence you. Only affecting changes
might be the extended RTTI (increase in executable size if enabled - and
for the RTL units it might need to be enabled) and if the switch from
AnsiString to UnicodeString should come...

Sven
