[fpc-devel] Some thoughts on multi-line string support, and a possible syntax that I think is perfectly clean and Pascal-ish.

[Ryan Joseph]

This may not be related but why does "l: string = lines;” work, shouldn’t that be an error or at least get clipped? I’m seeing writeln prints out the entire string as if it was an ansistring.

{$mode objfpc}
{$multilinestringlineending crlf}
{$h+}

program test;

const lines = `
  #version 150

  uniform sampler2D textures[8];
  in vec2 vertexTexCoord;
  in vec4 vertexColor;
  in float vertexUVMap;
  out vec4 fragColor;

  void main()
  {
    if (vertexUVMap == 255) {
      fragColor = vertexColor;
    } else {
      fragColor = texture(textures[int(vertexUVMap)], vertexTexCoord.st);
      if (vertexColor.a < fragColor.a) {
        fragColor.a = vertexColor.a;
      }
    }
  }`;

var
  l: string = lines;
begin
  writeln(l);
end.
