    * tree.pas: changed inlinenumber (and associated constructor/vars) to a byte

  Revision 1.55  1998/11/29 12:40:20  peter
    * newcnv -> not oldcnv

  Revision 1.48  1998/10/21 15:12:59  pierre
    * bug fix for IOCHECK inside a procedure with iocheck modifier
    * removed the GPF for unexistant overloading
      (firstcall was called with procedinition=nil !)
    * changed typen to what Florian proposed
      gentypenode(p : pdef) sets the typenodetype field
      and resulttype is only set if inside bt_type block !

  Revision 1.47  1998/10/20 08:07:07  pierre
    * several memory corruptions due to double freemem solved
      => never use p^.loc.location:=p^.left^.loc.location;
    + 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 1.46  1998/10/08 17:17:37  pierre
    * current_module old scanner tagged as invalid if unit is recompiled
    + added ppheap for better info on tracegetmem of heaptrc
      (adds line column and file index)
    * several memory leaks removed ith help of heaptrc !!

  Revision 1.45  1998/10/05 21:33:33  peter
    * fixed 161,165,166,167,168

  Revision 1.44  1998/09/28 16:57:28  pierre
    * changed all length(p^.value_str^) into str_length(p)
      to get it work with and without ansistrings
    * changed sourcefiles field of tmodule to a pointer

  Revision 1.43  1998/09/27 10:16:28  florian

    * overloading fix for array of const

    * first working array of const things

  Revision 1.40  1998/09/22 15:34:07  peter
    + pchar -> string conversion

  Revision 1.39  1998/09/21 08:45:27  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 !!

      UseTokenInfo greatly simplified
