Feature request to Delphi Compiler for IFOPT (Vote if you care)

[Tommi Prami 123]

 

Compiler supports only the short versions of compiler direcctives in the IFOPT

{$IFOPT C+}
  LTempVariable :=
{$ENDIF}
  DoSometingThatReturnsSomething:
  Assert(LTempVariable > 0, 'Should return greater than Zero');

would be way easier to read and understand what is going on with long version

{$IFOPT ASSERTIONS ON}
 LTempVariable :=
{$ENDIF}

I really do not like those shortened version of Compiler directives. Would need to use them a lot, if at least I would remember them.

Would be nice however you can do it yourself

(*******************************************************************************
  Include file for checking compiler settings.

  Based on JVCL

  ALIGN_ON               Compiling in the A+ state (no alignment)
  BOOLEVAL_ON            Compiling in the B+ state (complete boolean evaluation)
  ASSERTIONS_ON          Compiling in the C+ state (assertions on)
  DEBUGINFO_ON           Compiling in the D+ state (debug info generation on)
  IMPORTEDDATA_ON        Compiling in the G+ state (creation of imported data references)
  LONGSTRINGS_ON         Compiling in the H+ state (string defined as AnsiString)
  IOCHECKS_ON            Compiling in the I+ state (I/O checking enabled)
  WRITEABLECONST_ON      Compiling in the J+ state (typed constants can be modified)
  LOCALSYMBOLS_ON        Compiling in the L+ state (local symbol generation)
  TYPEINFO_ON            Compiling in the M+ state (RTTI generation on)
  OPTIMIZATION_ON        Compiling in the O+ state (code optimization on)
  OPENSTRINGS_ON         Compiling in the P+ state (variable string parameters are openstrings)
  OVERFLOWCHECKS_ON      Compiling in the Q+ state (overflow checing on)
  RANGECHECKS_ON         Compiling in the R+ state (range checking on)
  TYPEDADDRESS_ON        Compiling in the T+ state (pointers obtained using the @ operator are typed)
  SAFEDIVIDE_ON          Compiling in the U+ state (save FDIV instruction through RTL emulation)
  VARSTRINGCHECKS_ON     Compiling in the V+ state (type checking of shortstrings)
  STACKFRAMES_ON         Compiling in the W+ state (generation of stack frames)
  EXTENDEDSYNTAX_ON      Compiling in the X+ state (Delphi extended syntax enabled)
