[fpc-pascal] CompareMem documentation

Documentation here: http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/rtl/sysutils/comparemem.html says that the function returns 0, 0 or 0 while actually it returns a Boolean. Juha ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org

[fpc-pascal] fcl-process, SimpleIPC and pipes

I must implement communication between 2 processes. I believe SimpleIPC is good for that purpose and it is well tested in a cross-platform system (Lazarus - ChmHelp). Named pipes were suggested to me. I would like to know the benefits / handicaps of SimpleIPC compared to named pipes. I will have

[fpc-pascal] Nested comments

I realized FPC supports nested {} comments by default. SynPdf, a Synopse PDF engine http://synopse.info/fossil/wiki?name=PDF+Engine has '{' characters inside comments but they are not meant as nested comments. How to turn nested comments off? I did not find any such option even by using the new
