Are there any plans to make a proper preprocessor like #define in C? I’m
not saying this is good programming practice or anything but I just had a
really annoying copy and paste chore on some temporary code which I could
have easily accomplished if I had #define like in C. It’s such a trivial
thing to add I wonder why it was never included in Pascal.
Because it is simply a bad idea ?
Pascal has some trivial macro support. {$define m:=xyz}
If you need more than that, you can use m4 or so. Lazarus has support for
pre-compile commands, so you can always configure it to preprocess your
files if you are so inclined.
