"New units naming style"
« on: December 21, 2018, 07:00:37 pm »
I was reading this thread and I saw that fancy new naming style used by the generics library (this).  I saw it also in latest Delphi versions but I'm not used to it.

How does it work?  Does it work with FPC compilers older than 3.0?  It seems nice to be used by my some of my own libraries...

The IDE is still a bit buggy about it though. If I work on a LCL project, add a new unit, save it with dots in its filename, the project.lpr will not rename the "unit1" that was added when adding the new unit to the actual name. I think I've reported this to the bugtracker a year ago or so...

Note that only 3.2 and 3.3.1 have the parameter to set default namespaces. Afaik 3.0 can only use dotted units canonically

Ok, thanks.  May be I'll not add this to Allegro.pas yet.   May be on version 6?

Do you use unitnames that are very common that could cause conflicts ? If not, it only complicates, and I see no reason to do this. If you do users must add parameters to make the unitnames of managable length again, without any benefit.
