[fpc-pascal] ptop and comma.

[fredvs]

Hello everybody and especially Michael.

OK, I did find the very well hidden memory leak.

In ptop.pp it comes from Procedure TPToP.DoRun, line 140 --->  Usage(1);

And in the procedure Usage(), the last line produces the memory leak.

Procedure TPToP.Usage(ECode : Word);
begin
  Writeln ('ptop : Usage : ');
  Writeln ('ptop [-v] [-i indent] [-b bufsize ][-c optsfile][-l linesize]
infile outfile');
  Writeln ('     converts infile to outfile.');
  Writeln ('     -c : read options from optsfile');
  Writeln ('     -i : Set number of indent spaces.');
  Writeln ('     -l : Set maximum output linesize.');
  Writeln ('     -b : Use buffers of size bufsize');
  Writeln ('     -v : be verbose');
  writeln ('ptop -g ofile');
  writeln ('     generate default options file');
  Writeln ('ptop -h : This help');
  halt(Ecode); //////////// ------> This produces a memory leak 
end;
  
So the big question is: What is the purpose of "halt(Ecode)" and would it be
a crime to remove it?

Thanks.
