Yes this look like a nightmare, if you want to parse the source and not only create a AST

You are completely wrong here.... It will never work...... procedure TestSmall; var lPoint : TPoint; sPoint : TSmallPoint; begin sPoint := default(TSmallPoint); lpoint.x := 255; lpoint.y := 255; writeln('lPoint.x: '+lPoint.x.ToString+ ' lPoint.y: '+lPoint.y.ToString); sPoint := TSmallPoint(lpoint); writeln('sPoint.x: '+sPoint.x.ToString+ ' sPoint.y: '+sPoint.y.ToString); end; Compile and run.......

Thanks Remy, not only for this also of your work over all the years now

Found today in System.Types........ class operator TPoint.Explicit(Value: TPoint): TSmallPoint; begin if Value.x < Low(SmallInt) then Result.x := Low(SmallInt) else if Value.x > High(SmallInt) then Result.x := High(SmallInt) else Result.x := SmallInt(Result.x); if Value.y < Low(SmallInt) then Result.y := Low(SmallInt) else if Value.y > High(SmallInt) then Result.y := High(SmallInt) else Result.y := SmallInt(Result.y); end; Useless and wrong Code...

The funny thing is, there was a OpenGl Layer for Windows working really well at this time. (I'm also a lifetime customer, my "lifetime" was 4 or 5 month.....). After the purchase the OpenGl part was dropped, not longer usable, and older Delphi not more supported. It was one of the worth purchase i have ever done.

But all on the same day........

If this is true, then Embarcadero is not anymore a Partner you can trust.

Hey, it is the decision from Embarcadero. And to be honest I can understand. I'm not "happy" about it, but.......

Hey, they need to earn money somewhere? Do you work for nothing?

Yes that is for sure........ Remobjects shows what can be done with LLVM, working a lot with Elements these days. It is amazing what they have done with the language!

At least they are honest🤓

There is FPC, spend your time to help there. Then you will have your compiler

I Would also tend to @tjoe if it comes to Pdf Questions. I don't think you will find a more competent person if it comes to Delphi and PDF https://uberpdf.org

For me this is a clear statement😀

Simple answer NO. The IDE Fix pack fixes only the IDE
