[fpc-devel] Adding new units to the compiler project

[J. Gareth Moreton]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently doing some experiments with vectorisation on x86 
platforms.  One thing this might entail is a new platform-specific unit 
(e.g. "x86/nx86bas.pas").  What's the usual configuration required for 
the projects to see the unit and use the overridden classes within?

Currently within the unit I have the type "tx86statementnode = 
class(tcgstatementnode)" and then in the begin...end (initialization) 
block of the unit, I set cstatementnode to equal tx86statementnode, but 
of course the compiler doesn't know about this new unit yet and so 
doesn't use it.  I've tried to study some of the project files but they 
seem to favour search paths over using specific units.

P.S. The final result may not use an overridden statement node. I'm 
researching and experimenting!
