Subject: Re: [fpc-pascal] Delphi mode for new features?
We can't help that. FPC supported operator overloading long before Delphi did.
Yes, and I consider that it was implemented more clear and properly in
FPC than in Delphi.
I still don't understand this argument. If you want to compile a unit
both with FPC and Delphi, develop the code in Delphi (so you don't
accidentally use FPC-specific routines from the FPC RTL) and use
{$mode delphi} to compile it in FPC. Of course you can't use
FPC-specific features if you want to compile your code also with
Delphi, just like you can't use GCC-specific features if you want to
compile your code also with MSVC.
My point is "in the perfect world we don't need to use {$MODE DELPHI}
for common use of both compilers and framework cores".
So we should use subset of FPC/Delphi languages (in the perfect world
Delphi is a subset of FPC).
Every convergence make subset bigger. And vice versa.
There are many years ago I used GCC/MSVC for cross-platform dev and if
you follow the standard (with isolating platform-specific code), the
problems go away in many cases.
The strong point of C/C++ is the standard.
Maybe will see it for (Object, Free,...) Pascal too.
