I truly appreciate the answers!
Before I continue, I better ask a basic question first:
Will old Pascal code that would be compiled by GCC 2.95.x and GPC 2.1 be compiled by the latest versions (GPC/GCC) without any problems?
I have just gone through a similar exercise. There were a few compilation problems (due to stricter checks and some compiler changes) but also more run time problems due to value range errors which were previously being ignored. It will of course depend on the code but it shouldn't be too big a job.
You can disable the run-time checks (--no-range-checking), but of course, these might indicate actual bugs in the code ... :-)
