Free Pascal 3.2.2-rc1 released!
« on: March 24, 2021, 01:53:26 pm »
Hello,

We have placed the first release candidate of the Free Pascal Compiler
version 3.2.2 on our ftp servers.

You can help improve the upcoming 3.2.2 release by downloading and
testing this release. If you want you can report what you have done here:
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Testers_3.2.2 or in the maillist.

Changes that may break backwards compatibility will be documented at:
http://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_3.2.2

Downloads are available on the main FTP server at

ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/beta/3.2.2-rc1/

The evaluation time frame for this release is at least two weeks, so bugreports within that period will be looked at before the final release is branched.

Enjoy!

The Free Pascal Compiler Team

  •    A new 32/64-bit combined installer for Windows.

Utilities:
  •     fpcres provides support for compiling resources from
    *.rc files

Packages:
  • fcl-db extended with support for MySQL 8.0
  • fcl-passrc updates

It seems fixes #0038145 and #0038513 are not included in this release candidate?

Question:  Does this version change anything of the INLINEd stuff?  I know the fixes from 3.3 aren't easy to merge but I believe in miracles...  :-[

It is already said in that thread that it is too invasive to port.

They are not part of the RC and are also not part of the fixes branch. I don't know if I'd merge #0038145, but #0038513 should be possible.

I know.  Just wondering.

So I've to wait until version 3.4.0 or 4.0.0 then. :(

Thanks for the effort, anyway.  I know you're working hard to make fpc better each version. :-*

Just wondering if maybe you can use the trunk through Fpcupdeluxe, for instance. That's if you don't want to wait.

I've also merged the fix for #0038145, considering that I had marked a follow up commit already as "I want to merge this to 3.2.1". So in that sense, thank you for the reminder, avk. ;D

Can these be merged?

https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=38638

That way if a future Lazarus version uses this FPC. This warning won't be needed a third time. :)

Can I get this patch https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=37205 included?

It's a non-controversial patch to fix the missing and incorrect sysctl MIB array integers for macOS taken directly from the macOS /usr/include/sys/sysctl.h header file.

It would be very nice if 49040 could also be included !
https://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi?view=revision&revision=49040

It already was on my very short "to be discussed" revisions list
