-compiler crashes do not effect the IDE
I like Florian's idea too. As for your statement above, how often does
this really happen? In the last 4-5 years that I have been using FPC, the
compiler has not once "crashed" on me. Yes it might report that there is a
compiler error in my project, but I do not consider that a crash.
The compiler is started on every compile which is the cleanest start you
can get. A threaded compiler must have a restart, which is less clean.
There will be more crashes and bugs.
What happens if the restart fails?
For the debugger, we have reset debugger.
That's easy: it stops and restarts gdb. an external process.
For the compiler, we would add a reset compiler option.
If the compiler is internal, what would 'reset compiler' do ?
If the compiler people can't guarantee a proper reset, then
neither can the IDE...
With the proposal of Florian, the 'reset compiler' is possible,
just as with GDB...
Michael.
