I had never seen .pp before FPC. In all the Delphi/Turbo Pascal I'd 
used, it was always .pas. On the Mac it seems to have been .p quite 
regularly. Was .pp the UNIX standard?

[fpc-pascal] Extension .pp or .pas

2008-01-11 Thread Damien Gerard


I am starting a new project and I worry about filename conventions.
It is possible to use .pp or .pas for fpc source files.

Lazarus creates .pas files AFAIK. The project will be a console  
application.


Is there some existing conventions (from history or something else) or  
we totally don't care about ?

FPC doesn't mind which one you use.

Suspecting the analogy with .c and .cc, I guess it was .p in the non-OO
era and .pp with objects.

There is nothing 'classical' or 'new' about either extension.

.pp was in accordance with unix standards.
.pas was in use for dos/windows by Borland (tp/delphi).

FPC normally uses .pp 

This allows you to make a distinction when you have lazarus/delphi
installed: .pp opens with lazarus, .pas with delphi.

There is no unix .pp standard. .pp is an invention by Florian,  
indeed in analogy with .c - .cc as John Coppens mentioned (although  
not specifically regarding pre/post-objects).

Well, I'd say that the last statement may be slightly misleading, because
it depends on what is meant under FPC, so just to make it 100% clear:
When referring to FPC compiler, .pp and .pas can be used equally as
already mentioned by somebody else. Talking about FPC project, .pp is
used for majority of source files in RTL and packages. However, even
within FPC project, .pas is used for files which are supposed to be
compilable with other compilers (because these usually don't support .pp).
For mostly historical reasons, this category includes compiler sources,
because they were compilable/compiled with other compilers in the past.

Thanks.
Are you crosscompiling? Do you use static or dynamic linking?
