The CodeWarrior Pro 4 Pascal compiler is so damned buggy.
Not "my code's crashing and I don't know why, so it must be the compiler's
fault" buggy, but "the manual says I can use anonymous types and
macros just like so, but I get stupid compiler errors that go away when I
do it the old-fashioned way" buggy.
Features that CW Pro 4 claims to have but which don't actually work correctly:
- anonymous types -- only one works per unit, then the compiler gets confused when you try to define a second anonymous type
macros -- aren't recognized by the compiler- unit initialization blocks -- never get executed
Update: Macros do work, I was just doing it wrong.
Having said this, if anyone out there knows that this stuff does work on CW Pro 4, let me know.
Even better, if you have the Pascal compilers for CW Pro 5, let me know. I have a licensed copy of CW Pro 5, but it wasn't originally released with Pascal compilers. They were supposed to have been released later, but I either never got them, or I lost them sometime in the last 8-9 years. Grrr.
