Hi everyone,
GPC version 20020410, the release candidate #6 for GPC 2.1, has been uploaded to http://www.gnu-pascal.de/current/gpc-20020410.tar.gz
A diff against RC 5 can be found at http://www.gnu-pascal.de/current/gpc-20020402-20020410.diff.gz
According to a request by the Chief, the install target `pascal.install' and the Pascal only binary distributions (`pascal.bindist') do not include libgcc.a anymore. It is now only included with `pascal.install-with-gcc' and Pascal binaries with gcc (`pascal.bindist-with-gcc'), since the former should be used if (and only if) a matching GCC version is already installed which includes libgcc.a.
A module name conflict (which prohibited certain module names, e.g., `Files') was resolved, thanks to a report by Carel Fellinger. In the course of fixing this problem, the directive `asmname' was enabled for programs, units and module interfaces.
Some small bugs were fixed, including a problem when building GPC with `-pipe' (thanks to a report by George Shapovalov), the problem that ParamStr was not accepted as the first argument of `ReadStr' and `Val' (thanks to a report by Maurice Lombardi), a bug with differences of integer constans and a bug with a special case of nested schema types (thanks to reports by Emil Jerabek) and some other small bugs.
