The compiler knows if the unit contains initialization/finalization. See the unused unit hint already supported (try 1.9.x because 1.0.x is broken with this support). But initialization can also have negativ sides. Let say the RTL is included in a single package/unit. Then all programs depend on the graph unit (and under linux svgalib.so) because it has an initialization section. How to solve that? _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
