[fpc-devel] Strange behaviour of ;

[Marc Weustink]

I can confirm this on linux-i386 2.0.0 and darwin-ppc 2.0.1

It looks like "+ <some call>" is parsed wrong. The next "program" 
compiles fine.

Marc


program testplus;
{$mode objfpc} {$H+}
begin
   + ParamStr(0);
   + ParamCount;
   + Exit;
   + WriteLN;
end.
