Hi Sven,
Actually found that HP have a documented list:
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/82final/6083/6083pro_032.html#extensions_app
I'm not sure I feel qualified to change the compiler but as I work on
this porting project I will be creating a list of the main changes
which I could then decide if beneficial to create a new compiler mode
for (with a lot of help I hope!!!)
Thanks again for your advice, Richard.
One useful thing might be to create a test case for each extension as
you find that FPC (in the default mode ** ) doesn't handle it, and to
submit it as a bug for discussion. That would enable all the
"tentative VMS mode" activity to be at least cross-linked.
Yes, that might be a good idea.
I see from your reference that the compiler extends ANSI/ISO Pascal,
but there's no indication of whether, when it was written, it was
based on Jensen & Wirth or the somewhat later ISO standard. Was it
written from scratch, or was it initially based on something like the
P6 compiler which I believe was on some DEC systems?
Note: As Jonas wrote in an earlier mail you need to add Richard as CC as
he's not (yet) subscribed to the mailing list.
** Anybody: what's the state of the -Miso mode? I don't see it in the
-h output.
AFAIK variadic record initialization and peeking input is at least
missing. Otherwise it should work more or less in trunk (again AFAIK⦆.
Regards,
Sven
