 AFAICT a
 git push will pick up a changed Firebird.pas each time it is rebuilt on
 a posix host, so it won't be too difficult to keep it up-to-date.

Denis, unfortunately 'Added' means here that generated Firebird.pas was 
placed into git tree.
Please get it from linux binaries or source tarball (src/include/gen) or 
from github (B3_0_Release).

In principle, you can not include in Firebird.pas snapshots, if it is  
difficult to collect each time. But then
1. cloop tool must be compiled and included in the kit Firebird utilities.
2. It should be documented. At a minimum, the instrument itself must  
provide help for the options with the /? or --help. Now to find out you  
have to read the source code.
3. The release archives and distribution Firebird.pas file should be  
included. Release and subrelease comes not so often.

Added to B3_0, still hope on correct approach in fb4.

Simple is by definition easier ;)
Unfortunately it does not mean better...

Well, if nobody will provide strong arguments against this I will commit 
the generated file on Monday.

Being not absolutely sure what do they do I will answer - sooner of all not.
After RC2 two guys used to ask me - where is firebird.pas? They were 
both windows users. I had to suggest them to download linux binary 
package and take file from it. That file did not require any manual 
editing when put into linux package and looks like was OK for that users.

Is the Windows guys doing manual editing of the generated file after API
changes?

Much more.

Paul, I see 2 alternatives.
1. (correct) Build cloop and execute same command.
2. (simple) We can add firebird.pas to git and keep in sync with 
firebird.idl (like now happens with IdlFbInterfaces.h).

[Firebird-devel] Firebird.pas for the windows build

[preeves]

Firebird.pas is generated in the posix builds but it is not generated
in the windows builds. Posix builds generate it via this target:

$(API_PAS_FILE): $(IDL_FILE) $(PASCAL_SOURCES) $(TMP_FUNCS)
$(CLOOP) $(IDL_FILE) pascal $@ Firebird --uses SysUtils \
--interfaceFile $(PAS_ROOT)/Pascal.interface.pas \
--implementationFile $(PAS_ROOT)/Pascal.implementation.pas \
--exceptionClass FbException \
--functionsFile $(TMP_FUNCS) \
--prefix I

There seems to be more going on here than simple file concatenation.

How are we meant to do this in the windows build?
