I'm not sure if Francisco meant the Reference Guide or possibly some
examples appearing in the other documents;
I was looking specifically about the rtl pdf.
if it's the latter, a more concrete example would be probably useful.
Where are the examples? I recall seem them in the past, but can't find them
now.
Also as I become more serious about FPC what would be the recommended order
of reading the docs?
I have:
prog.pdf
ref.pdf
rtl.pdf
user.pdf
Want to go over them in the coming week. I like to read as much as I can
before jumping into more serious development. Right now doing a couple of
simple utilities partly because I need them for work and partly to re-learn
pascal.
eyes of a newcomer as suggested by Francisco. I don't think that the
places I found (including the dedicated chapter for exceptions in the
Reference Guide) make this rule very obvious, so there may be some
room for improvement
Just looked at that part in the reference and agree that it could at least
mention it needs delphi or objectpascal modes.
allowing to change the mode, but the newcomer may not even know /
understand that he should be interested in changing the compiler mode
Exactly. Specially newcomers may have a good chance to not know what
documents and in what order they need to read them.
I think it may be a bit easier for someone coming from Delphi, but someone
just starting out, may not even know that exception handling is object
pascal and not part of the standard pascal.
