Hi,
I was reading the latest documentation
(https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/
user/userse35.html) and noticed the following:
The Delphi mode of the compiler tries to mimic Delphi as
closely as possible.
and
Delphi compatibility is relatively complete up to Delphi 7.
New constructs in higher versions of Delphi (notably, the
versions that work with .NET) are not supported.
Delphi 7 and Delphi.NET are extremely old by 2026 standards. Is there
currently a definitive Delphi version that FPC aims to be compatible
with?
Additionally, is there a formal roadmap or list of modern language
features
that the team is currently cloning or aiming to implement in -Mdelphi
mode?
There is a patch to add ternary support waiting in the MR list.
Other than that I have no knowledge of missing delphi things except
inline variables.
Michael.
