Aah, thanks Martin.  I was getting a little worried because some other forum users are implying they're getting scared away from FPC because of the bugs that are popping up.  Of course I'll have to take responsibility for some of them. Kit On 02/06/2024 21:19, Martin Frb via fpc-devel wrote:

I admit I'm not overly sure how to handle Thaddy sometimes: "They fixed it in the wrong way. It is fixed in a way to solve a single - rare - problem by an OP that seems to have more infuence than me and the fixer(s) would not listen." Not sure what problem he's referring to exactly.  Hopefull

I made a post on that topic, as I remember that bug.  It was a peephole optimisation that I introduced, but before anyone tries to lynch me for breaking the compiler, the reason why things broke is because it makes the optimisation on the assumption that the FLAGS register was not in use.  Howe
