Hi.
I'm writing a sort of compiler for a language similar to php (so it is not
a compiler since
it doesn't produce any object code, it only checks syntax and so on). I use
delphi 6 on
win32, and freepascal 1.9.x on Linux/i386 and Mac OS X. Sometimes I compile
it with
fpc under win32 too.
It works
I guess the problem with dynarrays and openarrays (also as with overloaded
functions wich are also very buggy for a long time) is the fact that FPC
core team are old stylish programmers, and do not use these modern features
themselves. Thus these features are for users and are not so solid.
It is also not possible to use new features in the compiler. The
compiler needs to be able to be compiled with 1.0.x for bootstrapping.
This may be a dumb question but, can you explain what you mean by this,
and why this is not possible?

When building a new compiler you always start with
