Evening all.

To day ago, I got bored, and so I wrote a danish language file for fpc :)

I just need a little help before it's complete.

The meaning of the following entries escape me:

parser_e_generic_methods_only_in_methods=03072_E_methods can be only in other methods called direct with type identifier of the class

parser_e_self_in_non_message_handler=03146_E_Self can only be an explicit parameter in methods which are message handlers

execinfo_f_cant_process_executable=09028_F_Can't post process executable $1

*O2Dw_PM-program
(from the "-h" output)

I would like some more information about the following as well, just to be sure I got it right.

execinfo_x_stackreserve=09033_X_Reserveret stakstørrelse: $1 bytes execinfo_x_stackcommit=09034_X_Brugt stakstørrelse: $1 bytes unit_u_no_reload_is_caller=10049_U_Ingen genindlæsning, $1 er kalder unit_u_flag_for_reload=10051_U_Indstillinger for genindlæsning: $1 unit_u_second_compile_unit=10054_U_Compilerer allerede $1, starter anden compilering

If somebody can help me, I would appreciate it.

(apart from this, the language file is finished)

Hi Christian

I'll only comment one of them, because that's what I know for sure...

*O2Dw_PM-program

This is an OS/2-specific option (i.e. only valid for targets OS2 and EMX) - Presentation Manager (PM) is a GUI (windowing) subsystem of OS/2. This option is currently regarded as deprecated and only kept for compatibility with older versions, it's superseded with -WG (and thus equivalent to use of $APPTYPE GUI within program source).

I don't know what this one means either. From the source of the compiler, it seems this message is written out if you use "inherited" outside a method (e.g. in a normal procedure or function).

parser_e_self_in_non_message_handler=03146_E_Self can only be an explicit parameter in methods which are message handlers

It means that you can only declare a method which has a parameter called "self" in case that method is declared as a message handler.

execinfo_f_cant_process_executable=09028_F_Can't post process executable $1

The postprocessing (not post processing, that's what they do at the post office :) only happens under Win32 (currently), and consists of updating some fields in the executable header (such stack reserve and commit size).

execinfo_x_stackreserve=09033_X_Reserveret stakstørrelse: $1 bytes execinfo_x_stackcommit=09034_X_Brugt stakstørrelse: $1 bytes

These are kind of complex to explain, they have to do with whether or not the compiler will recompile units and why.
