Running gpc-20030507 with gcc-3.2.3 (i486-pc-mingw32), I wish to compile in Extended Pascal mode but also allow the "external" keyword. With "ifmod.pas" containing:
module ifmod;
export ifmod = (proc);
procedure proc; external;
end;
end.
...and compiling this with:
gpc --extended-pascal --enable-keyword=external -c ifmod.pas
...I get:
gpc1.exe: internal error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See URL:http://www.gnu-pascal.de/todo.html for instructions.
In fact, I can produce the same error with just:
gpc1 -fenable-keyword=x
...from the i486-pc-mingw32/3.2.3 subdirectory. I have reproduced this on the Chief's distribution as well.

Why can't unit-path be a compiler directive?
And {$uses} for that matter?
I include a prefix file, and I'd rather store the paths in the prefix file so the command line isn't several lines long and I can more easily see what file it is actually compiling.
I can't use a separate "uses xxx;" clause since the prefix file comes before the unit yyy; line in the file.
Is there a good reason they are not allowed?
Thanks, Peter.

Because that's a system installation setting, not part of the Pascal source (same as optimization options etc.). (The result would be programs that only compile on a specific directory structure.)

Because it's equivalent to `uses'.

The usual place to put such options are Makefiles, scripts, aliases/short cuts, IDE settings etc., not the source code.

You might want to use progress messages and a tool to display them.

GPC allows this.

Will be fixed in the next release. Thanks for the report. (david5.pas)
