Using "exports" in a unit does not compile

[Robert Gilland]

The below unit compiles in Delphi but fails in FPC with the following error:

Fatal: Syntax error, "IMPLEMENTATION" expected but "EXPORTS" found


Why?

Kind Regards,

Robert.



unit testexports;

{$IFDEF FPC}
  {$MODE Delphi}
{$ENDIF}

interface

uses Classes, SysUtils;

function GetTestExport( id_ws : Integer; strwsList : string;  procfilescreated : TGetStrProc ): Boolean; stdcall;


exports GetTestExport;

implementation

function GetTestExport( id_ws : Integer; strwsList : string;  procfilescreated : TGetStrProc ): Boolean;
begin
  // do something
end;

end.

Because it's syntactically incorrect, unit never has exports section, only library does. What Delphi version? Can you confirm with newer ones (XE family)?

[Robert Gilland]

This unit compiles perfectly well in Delphi XE

Kind Regards,

Robert.

Please file a Delphi compatibility bug report.
