As far as I can see ZEOS is full of checks like:<br>
{$IF FPC_FULLVERSION>=30100} ...<br>
<br>
So I think that one more check:<br>
{$IF FPC_FULLVERSION>30200} <br>
{$DEFINE WITH_FTSHORTINT} //
ftShortInt is supported<br>
{$DEFINE WITH_FTBYTE} // ftByte is
supported<br>
{$DEFINE WITH_FTEXTENDED} //
ftExtended is supported<br>
{$DEFINE WITH_FTLONGWORD} //
ftLongWord is<br>
{$ENDIF}<br>
... is not so big problem? (I see there is already in ZEOS such
check added ...)<br>
<br>
In IBX there you have "DefaultFieldClasses" array which is affected,
right?<br>
<br>
I agree that it is not ideal situation, but release cycle for major
versions of FPC are so long that postpone all these additions to
major releases means that users must wait years ...<br>
