      correct, if the class was defined forward before

  Revision 1.65  1998/10/26 14:19:28  pierre
    + added options -lS and -lT for source and target os output
      (to have a easier way to test OS_SOURCE abd OS_TARGET in makefiles)
    * several problems with rtti data
      (type of sym was not checked)
      assumed to be varsym when they could be procsym or property syms !!

    + terminated the include exclude implementation for i386
    * enums inside records fixed

    + finally I added now by default
      that ra386dir translates global and unit symbols
    + added a first field in tsymtable and
      a nextsym field in tsym
      (this allows to obtain ordered type info for
      records and objects in gdb !)

  Revision 1.61  1998/10/19 08:55:05  pierre
    * wrong stabs info corrected once again !!
    + variable vmt offset with vmt field only if required
      implemented now !!!

    * added vmt_offsets in destructors code also !!!
    * vmt_offset code for m68k

  Revision 1.59  1998/10/16 08:51:51  peter
    + target_os.stackalignment
    + stack can be aligned at 2 or 4 byte boundaries

  Revision 1.58  1998/10/15 15:13:30  pierre
    + added oo_hasconstructor and oo_hasdestructor
      for objects options

  Revision 1.57  1998/10/14 15:54:20  pierre
    * smallsets are not entirely implemented for
      m68k added a ifdef usesmallset
      that is allways defined for i386
      (enables testing for m68k)

  Revision 1.56  1998/10/09 11:47:56  pierre
    * still more memory leaks fixes !!

  Revision 1.55  1998/10/06 17:16:55  pierre

    * fixed 161,165,166,167,168

  Revision 1.53  1998/10/05 12:48:39  pierre
    * wrong handling of range check for arrays fixed

  Revision 1.52  1998/10/02 07:20:38  florian
    * range checking in units doesn't work if the units are smartlinked, fixed

  Revision 1.51  1998/09/25 12:01:41  florian
    * tobjectdef.publicsyms.datasize was set to savesize, this is wrong now

    * problem with with and classes fixed

  Revision 1.49  1998/09/23 12:03:55  peter

  Applied florians fix for check_rec_inittable

  Revision 1.46  1998/09/21 08:45:21  pierre
    + added vmt_offset in tobjectdef.write for fututre use
      (first steps to have objects without vmt if no virtual !!)
    + added fpu_used field for tabstractprocdef  :
      sets this level to 2 if the functions return with value in FPU
      (is then set to correct value at parsing of implementation)
      THIS MIGHT refuse some code with FPU expression too complex
      that were accepted before and even in some cases
      that don't overflow in fact
      ( like if f : float; is a forward that finally in implementation
       only uses one fpu register !!)
      Nevertheless I think that it will improve security on
      FPU operations !!
    * most other changes only for UseBrowser code
      (added symtable references for record and objects)
      local switch for refs to args and local of each function
      (static symtable still missing)
      UseBrowser still not stable and probably broken by
      the definition hash array !!

  Revision 1.45  1998/09/20 08:31:29  florian
    + bit 6 of tpropinfo.propprocs is set, if the property contains a
      constant index
