Hello,
I use a custom written defines set to determine the fpc version.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
program project1;
{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
uses SysUtils;
// fpc 2.0.0
{$IF ((FPC_VERSION = 2) and (FPC_RELEASE = 0) and (FPC_PATCH = 0))}
   {$DEFINE FPC_VER_200}
{$ENDIF}
// fpc 2.0.1
{$IF ((FPC_VERSION = 2) and (FPC_RELEASE = 0) and (FPC_PATCH = 1))}
   {$DEFINE FPC_VER_201}
{$ENDIF}
// fpc >= 2.0.1
{$IF ((FPC_VERSION >= 2) and (FPC_RELEASE >= 0) and (FPC_PATCH >= 1))}
   {$DEFINE FPC_VER_201+}
{$ENDIF}
// fpc = 2.0.2
{$IF ((FPC_VERSION = 2) and (FPC_RELEASE = 0) and (FPC_PATCH = 2))}
   {$DEFINE FPC_VER_202}
{$ENDIF}
begin
   {$IFDEF FPC_VER_200}
   writeln('version 2.0.0');
   {$ENDIF}
   {$IFDEF FPC_VER_201}
   writeln('version 2.0.1');
   {$ENDIF}
   {$IFDEF FPC_VER_201+}
   writeln('version 2.0.1+');
   {$ENDIF}

   {$IFDEF FPC_VER_202}
   writeln('version 2.0.2');
   {$ENDIF}

end.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the output from this is:
version 2.0.1
version 2.0.1+
version 2.0.2

I am compiling with FPC 2.0.2. Is this a bug or I have wrong defines???? I have to switch to VER2_0_1, VER2_0_2 compiler defines, but how to make a 2.0.1+ with those?

Thanks.

This is assumed to be FPC_VER_201. + isn't a valid character for an id?

You are right. Changing + to P solved my touble.
But FPC should complain about the '+' character, or should not? Bug?

Afaik this is on purpose. In Delphi comments can follow after a directive.

Can it be done only in {$mode delphi} to allow this, in others to require at least a space after the define name or give a warning of some kind?
