Dot in the name of units
« on: July 31, 2024, 11:36:15 pm »
Hello.
From what version of FPC did it become possible to add a dot in the name of units, such as MyUnit.dot.pas?
Now I tried Lazarus 3.2. It doesn’t seem to give a compilation error, but I remember for sure that it gave an error before.

Note that  3.2 only added the -FN default namespace parameter, and only the next major version (trunk/main aka whatever comes after the 3.2.x series) has  RTL units in dotted notation.

I don't know the practicalities of the latter, how seamless it is, since last time I heard about it, it was linked to later other Delphi features like string=unicodestring
