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!

You have to add it to the cpunode unit of the relevant architectures (or to the uses clause of nx64base/ni8086bas/n386bas if any of those would already exist, and also fix up the inheritance of any tcgstatementnode descendants that they would already declare).

Thanks Jonas - that works a treat!
