[fpc-devel] [patch] fpdoc linear writer ResolveLink fix

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Hi,

Finally squashed this bug!  Sorry Michael, I couldn't wait - I wanted to
get some documentation released and needed this fix.

Patch is include in Mantis report
   http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=17276


In summary
----------
Problem was that the check for Results quit the ResolveLink procedure to
early. It never got to the recursive looking through modules or packages. I
simply had to tweak the Results check.


Remaining issue.
----------------
Links in module topics (eg: system unit documentation) is not resolved.
This bug is not caused by my patch - the bug was there all the time, but
unknown to me. No wonder DocView could never find documentation on Pos()
function - and I thought it was a DocView bug.

The ScanModule call (inside the linear constructor) does call
AddTopicPages, but I don't know why they are not added correctly to the
link list. If you add "system.writeln(...)" in the AddLabel() method, you
will see in the output that things like "#rtl.system.Pos" does not exist.
No idea why yet.




Regards,
  - Graeme -
