Isn't that just the other way around?
According to the Programmer's Guide 1.3.41, {$EXTENDEDSYNTAX OFF} has
the effect of permitting the result of a function to be ignored.
However it also appears to (at least) prohibit functions/procedures with
optional parameters: can these be controlled separately?

cussion adjourns to fpc-devel, since
this is a user rather than a developer question.
What's the current situation with FPC interface to the Subversion
support libraries which I think is something you were looking at at one
point?
In extremis, I suppose that it should be possible for a program written
the author's had to use a lot of carefully tweaked timings which
suggests that something's not quite right... 750 Baud, anybody? :-)

Works fine like via JNI, you can do most stuff in Pascal
great deal of work would, I think, be in everybody's
interest.

Thanks Sven. Am I correct in believing that operators are basically not
handled by generics?
Apart from that, the operations of getting stuff into arrays etc. appear
to work well.

The problem is that those 35+ new features were things that somebody
actually wanted or needed, either because it improved functionality or
because it improved the rigour with which behaviour could be documented.

Referring to small devices...
Android support for fpGUI is in the
. However it's GPLed and we're trying to lean
on the (reluctant) author for the source, it would be a natural to
transcribe to e.g. a tablet or possibly a bratphone.
