And quoting the official FPC documentation from the Free Pascal website:
"Free Pascal is designed to be, as much as possible, source compatible with
Turbo Pascal 7.0 and
Delphi 7 (although this goal is not yet attained), ..."
Does it exclude other versions? No. This list also does not mention ISO or
ObjFPC, so it is clear,
the two mentioned versions are only examples. Besides this, if you followed fpc
development, you
should quickly realize that this page is simply outdated: no word on aarch64
which is supported for
years as well as jvm and m68k, iOS is not mentioned. You should know also that
FPC contains a lot of
stuff of newer delphis starting with advanced records, type helpers etc. which
is for sure not D7.
I will update this page, it is indeed in dire need of a review.
That said, a small look at the language guide will of course convince even
the most malicious person that we also aim to be compatible - at the language
level - with recent Delphis...
Michael.
