Re: Prefix directives -> attributes

Some directives in GPC are written in prefix form, in particular `static', `volatile', `register' for variables and `inline' for routines, e.g.:

inline procedure Foo;

var a: static Integer;

Since this syntax is also more like C than Pascal, I'd like to turn them into attributes, thereby also making them non-keywords. E.g.:

procedure Foo; attribute (inline);

var a: Integer; attribute (static);

I agree! Much easier to parse also, IMO. -- Chuck F (cbfalconer@yahoo.com) (cbfalconer@worldnet.att.net) Available for consulting/temporary embedded and systems. <http://cbfalconer.home.att.net> USE worldnet address!
