[fpc-devel] suggestion: AllFilesMask constant

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Anybody know in AllFilesMask will be defined in FPC 2.2.2 as well, or
only 2.3.x?

I need to know how to wrap my existing constant definitions for future
FPC releases...  For example, this is what I currently have, which
means 2.0.4 and 2.2.0 needs to use the local defines and any later
versions will use the one from RTL.

const
  // FPC 2.2.0 and earlier only
  {$if defined(VER2_0) or defined(VER2_2_0)}
    {$IFDEF UNIX}
    AllFilesMask    = '*';
    {$ELSE}
    AllFilesMask    = '*.*';
    {$ENDIF UNIX}
  {$endif}


Regards,
