[fpc-devel] Recompiling FPC to include new messages

[fpcdev at silvermono.co.za]

Hi Guys,

I found the following whilst 'toying' with the compiler code (Linux 2.2.4), in 
particular the code dealing with the compiler messages;

I have used msg2inc to generate the new msgtxt.inc and msgidx.inc from my 
modified errore.msg file.

Within unit verbose.pas,  procedure InitVerbose()  and procedure LoadMsgFile() 
include the code: msg^.LoadIntern(@msgtxt,msgtxtsize);  
According to the compiler, msgtxt is undefined. Where should it be defined?
Where does it read the contents of the message constants?

TMessage (TP7 object) is defined within cmsgs.pas, and includes a field msgtxt 
(PChar) but it' doesn't seem to be part of the msg refered to within the 
aforementioned procedures.

 If I generate the compiler such that it reads the physical errore.msg file at 
runtime, my modifications work, but I would prefer to have the messages 
included within the compiler .

Can someone kindly point me in the right direction with regards to the above.

Thanks.
Regards,
Nino
