If you use a git clone of the FPC repository, you can very easily and quickly (seconds rather than hours) search the commit history and or the patch details (actual code that changed). eg: git log -Stext That will search the actual changed source code / patch details for text. git log --grep=text That will search the commit message/log for text. Both these commands execute very fast. Indecently, that is how I found in which Lazarus version certain features were implemented (as can be seen in the New_IDE_features_since wiki page for Lazarus). -- Regards, - Graeme - ___ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
[fpc-pascal] detect the version of fpc that a feature added to it
Hello, I was looking to understand in what version of FPC ($IF defined ... } was added, and realized that it is not very simple to detect such information. So beside this question of when was it added ? What is the best way to find such information ? Another question, should I open a bug for documentation, to add when a specific feature like so was added in the documentation itself ? Thanks, Ido ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

In our previous episode, ik said: I was looking to understand in what version of FPC ($IF defined ... } was added, and realized that it is not very simple to detect such information. True. SVN logs of documentation and compiler is the easiest. But that can be exhausting. But $if is old. Wouldn't be surprised if the 2.x series all supported it. In general I usually define the oldest version I want to support (now 2.4.4, but from experience 2.4.2 usually works too), and dl and test with that version (and intermediate ones). Daniel: this is a language feature, the bugreport is about the same problem for libraries. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
