--language=Pascal

2 Jun 2004

      The question rises whether Pascal is written with an uppercase "p" or 
not

[G4:~/gnu/testgpc/adriaan] adriaan% gpc -c --language=Pascal hello.pas
[G4:~/gnu/testgpc/adriaan] adriaan% gpc -c --language=pascal hello.pas
gpc: language pascal not recognized

So, gpc expects an uppercase "p". On the other hand:

- ada, fortran and c are written in all lowercase (see the man pages 
for gcc)
- gdb writes Pascal lowercase
- gp writes "--pascal=OPTION" lowercase.

Because of this, it came to a surprise to me that --language=pascal 
didn't work (and it took me some time to find out that 
--language=Pascal did).

(can't remember if I reported this before)
