As long as it's really a separate mode (plus maybe modeswitches for
selected features, that other modes might profit from) I don't see a
problem with adding an Oxygene mode.
Indeed. This is the reason modes were invented.
This is obvious. I won't touch the holy OBJFPC mode ;). Ever.
I am worried about the speed of reviewing patches and integrations. For example:
Management operators are key feature for many elements in Oxygene mode.
Today I am 28 years old. I think that maybe before my 40th birthday FPC
team decide to merging Management Operatos into trunk -,- . If Oxygene
patch is next, which relay on MO... 80th birthday?
I am happy to report that you are wrong. They are currently under discussion.
Some valid concerns were raised.
By the looks of it, they may be integrated before long.
Please understand:
Free Pascal is a team project.
This means you cannot expect to have all patches integrated here-and-now.
Specially when they are as invasive as yours.
You are in essence converting pascal to a C++ clone with this MO patch.
Is it so bad that this is discussed thoroughly first ?
I understand your youthful impatience, just have a little more patience :-)
Michael.
