Using FPC v2.6.3 the {$WARNINGS OFF}, {$HINTS OFF}, and {$NOTES OFF} directives affect all subsequently compiled units as well. That seems wrong. Delphi limits the effects of those to the current compilation unit, which is what I'd expect. Is this intentional?
Sample code: ---- Test.dpr ------ program Test; uses Unit1 in 'Unit1.pas', Unit2 in 'Unit2.pas'; begin end. ---- Unit1.pas ----- unit Unit1; interface implementation var Var1: Boolean; end. ---- Unit2.pas ----- unit Unit2; interface implementation var Var2: Boolean; end. ------------------- Compiled with fpc Test.dpr Produces this output: Free Pascal Compiler version 2.6.3 [2014/11/12] for i386 Copyright (c) 1993-2012 by Florian Klaempfl and others Target OS: Darwin for i386 Compiling Test.dpr Compiling Unit1.pas Unit1.pas(10,3) Note: Local variable "Var1" not used Assembling (pipe) Unit1.s Compiling Unit2.pas Unit2.pas(8,3) Note: Local variable "Var2" not used Assembling (pipe) Unit2.s Assembling (pipe) Test.s Linking Test 27 lines compiled, 0.1 sec 2 note(s) issued -------------------- But if I add a "{$NOTES OFF}" declaration just before the "var" block in Unit1.pas, the output is instead: Free Pascal Compiler version 2.6.3 [2014/11/12] for i386 Copyright (c) 1993-2012 by Florian Klaempfl and others Target OS: Darwin for i386 Compiling Test.dpr Compiling Unit1.pas Assembling (pipe) Unit1.s Compiling Unit2.pas Assembling (pipe) Unit2.s Assembling (pipe) Test.s Linking Test 27 lines compiled, 0.1 sec -- Craig Peterson Scooter Software _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
