Is it possible to switch Lazarus between using fpc 3.0.4 and 3.2.0 so
as to compare the two easily?

Yes.

Just install the new FPC alongside the old one.

The simplest is then to copy the lazarus settings directory, and create a shortcut where you start lazarus with --pcp=/path/to/copy

In this, under Tools-Options dialog, page Environment-Files set - the correct compiler binary in 'Compiler Executable',
- and the correct path to the 3.2.0 sources in 'FPC Source directory'

That's it.

Now you can start 2 instances of lazarus, with a different setting for the
compiler version.

I have 4 or 5 such versions.

Michael.
