Hi, [I was asked this by somebody else] When using FPC's JVM backend... does that cause language restrictions? eg: limiting the usage of unsigned numbers and pointers when targeting the JVM? Regards, Graeme. ___ fpc-pascal maillist -

[fpc-pascal] Should TObject or TComponent have a Comment property?

2013-07-11 Thread vfclists .
Should TObject or TComponent have a Comment property? I think they should. One for the design itself and one for describing the usage at design or runtime. Smalltalk has it. Consider it a version of the Hint property but for the developer -- Frank Church ===

Older versions are never free of bugs (that's one of the reason why the next version appears), and even worse, it looks like there's no trace of bug reports for version as old as 1.0.6 (10 years). Just try everything yourself, and if something is wrong, feel free to fix yourself (the source is
