What is the official maximum symbol length? If it is 255, as the definition "TSymStr
= ShortString" suggests, then FPC does not always take proper care of it.
In particular, TGNUAssembler.WriteTree has plenty of concatenations similar to
this one
writer.AsmWriteLn(tai_symbol(hp).sym.name + ':')
which result in corrupt asm files.
(I am bumping into this bug in practice, with closures.)
I presume, those concatenations should be converted into chains of invocations. This
should also make things faster for "symansistr" case.
Side question: I see that the define "symansistr" is used for JVM and LLVM.
What was the rationale?
