Have there been any changes to the initialization order of units in the
last 6 month?
I have a complex project with multiple units with initialization
section. And now
one of those units does not get initialized before it is used by the
initialization part of
an other unit. This worked at the beginning of the year!
It might be caused the fix for
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=32352. Keep in mind that if
there are uses-cycles via the implementation section, the initialisation
order of the involved units is undefined.
There it is again: my pet project: Why doesn't pascal allow circular unit
references (at least for classes, like forwards)!
I like pascal very much but this is the biggest annoyance!
You always have to work around this (put multiple classes in one unit, create
interface classes, ...). And now this:
I have such cycles, but it worked before.
I removed this cycles and it worked as expected.
Isn't there a way to force the order?
Why isn't it initialized first even if the unit is the first after Forms in the
program?
If there are uses-cycles via the implementation section why doesn't
fpc prioritize interface order?
Basically because of this:
