I am wondering why octal numbers are not allowed in these modes.
Why not allow them in all modes?
I can't see how this would cause problems.
It would only avoid them.
Maybe because these modes could be used to ensure that the developer is able to
switch back to TP/BP or Delphi. If these modes
accepted features which TP/BP or Delphi don't understand, switching back would
become difficult. Or you could create a source
file which you want to be compatible with FPC and with TP. If you use octal, it
won't work.
That is exactly the idea.
