It was a perfectly normal answer for a stranger who comes running out of nowhere and says he wants to try something very difficult. ;-) Dmitriy Pomerantsev. 19.08.2020, 10:27, "J.

Thanks for the warning, but I'm not new in programming. Just not familiar with the Free Pascal source code. Dmitriy Pomerantsev. 18.08.2020, 17:47, "J.

Writing compilers is a pretty specialised undertaking, so general guides are rather hard to come by. For FPC, your best bet is to study the source code of something that already exists, make notes and build from there. Gareth aka.
