-    are worth comitting.
-
-  Revision 1.1  2002/07/20 11:57:53  florian

-
-  Revision 1.70  2002/05/12 16:53:16  peter
-    * moved entry and exitcode to ncgutil and cgobj
-    * foreach gets extra argument for passing local data to the
-      iterator function
-    * -CR checks also class typecasts at runtime by changing them
-      into as
-    * fixed compiler to cycle with the -CR option
-    * fixed stabs with elf writer, finally the global variables can
-      be watched
-    * removed a lot of routines from cga unit and replaced them by
-      calls to cgobj
-    * u32bit-s32bit updates for and,or,xor nodes. When one element is
-      u32bit then the other is typecasted also to u32bit without giving
-      a rangecheck warning/error.
-    * fixed pascal calling method with reversing also the high tree in
-      the parast, detected by tcalcst3 test
-
-  Revision 1.69  2002/04/25 20:16:39  peter
-    * moved more routines from cga/n386util
-
-  Revision 1.68  2002/04/15 19:08:22  carl
-  + target_info.size_of_pointer -> pointer_size
-  + some cleanup of unused types/variables
-
-  Revision 1.67  2002/04/07 13:40:29  carl
-  + update documentation
-
-  Revision 1.66  2002/04/02 17:11:32  peter
-    * tlocation,treference update
-    * LOC_CONSTANT added for better constant handling
-    * secondadd splitted in multiple routines
-    * location_force_reg added for loading a location to a register
-      of a specified size
-    * secondassignment parses now first the right and then the left node
-      (this is compatible with Kylix). This saves a lot of push/pop especially
-      with string operations
-    * adapted some routines to use the new cg methods
-
-  Revision 1.65  2002/04/01 20:57:14  jonas
-    * fixed web bug 1907
-    * fixed some other procvar related bugs (all related to accepting procvar
-        constructs with either too many or too little parameters)
-    (both merged, includes second typo fix of pexpr.pas)
-
-  Revision 1.64  2002/01/24 18:25:53  peter
-   * implicit result variable generation for assembler routines
-   * removed m_tp modeswitch, use m_tp7 or not(m_fpc) instead
-
-  Revision 1.63  2002/01/24 12:33:53  jonas
-    * adapted ranges of native types to int64 (e.g. high cardinal is no
-      longer longint($ffffffff), but just $fffffff in psystem)
-    * small additional fix in 64bit rangecheck code generation for 32 bit
-      processors
-    * adaption of ranges required the matching talgorithm used for selecting
-      which overloaded procedure to call to be adapted. It should now always
-      select the closest match for ordinal parameters.
-    + inttostr(qword) in sysstr.inc/sysstrh.inc
-    + abs(int64), sqr(int64), sqr(qword) in systemh.inc/generic.inc (previous
-      fixes were required to be able to add them)
-    * is_in_limit() moved from ncal to types unit, should always be used
-      instead of direct comparisons of low/high values of orddefs because
-      qword is a special case
