[fpc-devel] Patch for better Delphi-compatability in preprocessor

[Christian Iversen]

Certain Delphi constructs are not yet supported by the FreePascal 
preprocessor. Therefore, I have written a patch to implement this 
functionality, so the package Technetium can compile on FreePascal again. 

The attached patch closes both these bugs:
http://www.freepascal.org/bugs/showrec.php3?ID=3683
http://www.freepascal.org/bugs/showrec.php3?ID=3691

If you accept this patch, please give credit as something like this:
"Patch by Christian Iversen to implement symbolic constants and the IN 
operator in the preprocessor"


It seems that the real delphi uses a different approach to parsing expressions 
in the preprocessor, so eventually this patch will be replaced. However, for 
now, it helps many projects compile that otherwise wouldn't be able to.
