If a 3.2.0 compiler (or older) finds a 3.3.1 unit it will complain about an unknown header entry (which is a fatal error). As I have shown before, the fpc 3.0.4 compiler finds the 3.3.1 PPU and just ignores it. A 3.3.1 compiler that finds a 3.2.0 unit or older will complain about the missing header. It says the file doesn't start with PPU, which is a little wrong though... This is not fixable due to the way PPU files are parsed. Well, that sucks then. At least for my system that means that 3.2.0 and trunk (3.3.1) cannot co-exist. See https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,49606.msg360032.html#msg360032 I'm at a loss ATM. I need to correct myself: I was able to fix it in revision 45209, but you'll have to recompile your trunk units for that.

Re: [fpc-devel] Pure function development
I'm still learning these things - bear with me! I'll get one set up when I have something preliminary working. At the moment I haven't been able to unite the constant propagation code with my pure functions because they work in fundamentally different ways - for inline functions constant propagation makes a copy of a node tree then transmorphs them as it propagates the constants, while my code just takes the node tree and steps through it without modifying it. I guess there's merits for both approaches, but because of pure functions' ability to be recursive, I'm worried about malicious functions causing a massive ballooning of nodes and memory issues before the compiler detects an infinite loop (or one that is simply too long) before destroying all of the nodes again, throwing a warning and keeping the original call node. Also, there are places where nodes can't actually be used, like in the definition of constants, and they simply have to have their results calculated. We'll see though - this could prove to be insightful. Gareth aka.

It shows the diffs for you. Fork the FPC project on GitHub (https://github.com/genericptr/freepascal) then clone it locally and make a new branch. Then you can navigate to the feature branch, for example on my GitHub I have a branch for "static array initialization": https://github.com/genericptr/freepascal/tree/static_array_init If you can find the little compare button you'll get a URL like this: https://github.com/graemeg/freepascal/compare/master...genericptr:static_array_init That shows the commits and changed files as a diff. It happens all automatically so all you have to do is push changes (in your git client or what ever you use).
