README

This directory contains the sources of the Free Pascal Compiler

To recompile the compiler, use the batch file
mppc386.bat

If you want to build a m68k version to cross compile from i386 to m68k
use the batch file
mppc68k.bat

If you want to compile/modify the compiler, please read first the
programmers manual.


Changes in the syntax or semantic of FPC:
-----------------------------------------
28/01/99 implicit conversion from boolean to integer is not possible
anymore (solved several bugs) but this could lead to errors
on previously accepted code (PM)
01/02/99 c styled comments are supported (/* ... */), mainly
for the Sibyl sources of Medigo (FK)
02/02/99 class destructors take now two parameters: flag
if the helper routine should free the instance and
self pointer (FK)
22/02/99 PROTECTED and PRIVATE have now the same behavior
as in TP
09/03/99 small records and arrays passed by value to a function are now directly copied
into a 4 bytes parameter (needed for C and DLL calls) (PM)
11/03/99 the makefile.fpc is now also needed for the compiler and RTL, you can
find it in the base.zip package (PFV)
24/03/99 new directives UNITPATH,INCLUDEPATH,OBJECTPATH,LIBRARYPATH to
set the searchpaths where to find the files for that module (PFV)
25/03/99 new directive STATIC +/- or on/off , works like -St commandline
switch
02/04/99 rtl/cfg/ directory has been removed, it's not used anymore
15/04/99 FINALIZATION is supported
21/04/99 Default assembler for i386 changed to AT&T instead of direct
25/04/99 initialized vars supported in Delphi mode (only $J+ mode)
getting the address of an untyped const is now
forbidden as in BP
27/04/99 New unit format PPU016, you need to recompile all older units
01/05/99 Internal assembler. Assembler readers now support MMX,KNI
instructions.
12/05/99 rtl/utils/ directory moved to utils/. Moved the utils only needed
for compiler development to compiler/utils/
13/05/99 Classes are now only allowed in the ObjFpc or Delphi mode. Use
{$mode objfpc} or {$mode delphi}. Or from commandline -S2 or -Sd
16/05/99 Remove options -Up (use now -Fu) and -Fg (use now -Fl)
17/05/99 Redesign of ansistring temporary handling, please report
any problems
17/05/99 Most stuff of the objpas unit is now in the system unit
because the new temporary ansistring handling support
exceptions and exceptions need the class OOP model
18/05/99 The compiler will stop directly if there are errors in the
commandline parameters
16/08/99 DLL are relocatable by default (need to strip symbols)
-WN make non relocatable DLL (which can retain debug info)
for both type of DLL the prefered image base can be specified
with -WB1100000 for instance to get image base at $11000000.
08/09/99 pointer addition/substraction (only available in fpc,objfpc mode)
now uses the size of the type the pointer points to, just like
inc(),dec() already did. Now inc(p) is the same as p:=p+1.
But old code can be broken by this when there is a p:=p+4 then
it's now parsed like: p:=p+4*sizeof(type). To get the old situation
you can use typecasting: p:=ptype(pointer(p)+4).
08/09/99 class/object field return their offsets in the object/class. You
must access them self with loading the object/class pointer and
then create a reference where you add the field
07/11/99 Small change to property writing in PPU => all units
exporting classes with properties must be recompiled
(no new unit format, so be careful) (FK)
08/11/99 PP variable in Makefiles changed to FPC
14/11/99 makefile.fpc is not available anymore. You must now use fpcmake
which is available from the utils/. There is also an example
Makefile.fpc
15/02/00 The support of the fixed data type has been removed from the
compiler because
1. it is buggy
2. it is very seldom used
3. the single data type is faster on modern cpus (Pentium+)

If still want to use it, you have to recompile the compiler
with -dSUPPORT_FIXED and recompile the rtl with that compiler.
To find out if the used compiler supports the fixed data
type, check the directive HASFIXED (FK)
29/02/00 ORDERSOURCES released => PPU version change
this allows for a more correct include file hunting order.
