Hi,
Does FPC support annotations yet?
So in the future (or hopefully now), we could create something like what
many Java frameworks allow. Simply annotate a plain class to do the
magic for you - a massive reduction in boilerplate code. So we could end
up with a RESTful resource/controller as
Hello everybody,
I have really enjoyed working with tiOPF for 15+ years and have written
tons of database and non-database applications that used tiOPF. It was
also the project that introduced me to Design Patterns and Test Driven
Development, and I'll forever be grateful for that.
However, due

Hi,
https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/longrec.html
I'm referring to the documentation shown in the URL above. As far as I
know the fpdoc is sensitive to which platform it is running on (unless
explicitly told otherwise), and will generate documentation according to
that platform.

Hi,
I have included the following lines in a "fpg_defines.inc" include file
in my project, yet when I compile/build my project, it still shows that
compiler hint (as can be seen in the attached screenshot).
// common compiler options

fppkg is finally being used after years lying dormant.

And with all that discussion and time gone by, you could have simply
implemented it yourself using TFileStream or something like that.
