Hi, Maurice!
I'll leave this to Peter... (maur7.pas)
With today snapshot (20001214) pow and shl work as expected, but ** compiles but fails when using it with a message:
operatordemo.pas: In function `pascal_main_program': operatordemo.pas:49: left operand of `**' must be of integer, real or complex type
Indeed - I wanted to fix this too before announcing anything to the list, but you were faster. ;-)
The problem is that `pow' and `**' share a single tree node, so they cannot be distinguished in a simple way when it comes to redefinition of operators.
