Hi,

I tried fpdoc (fpc 2.0.0,win2000) and it crashes because it seems not to expand macros.

Example unit:

UNIT fpdoctest1;
{$DEFINE HELLO:=//}
HELLO WORLD;
INTERFACE
IMPLEMENTATION
END.

It compiles ok :

fpc -Sm fpdoctest1.pas

Target OS: Win32 for i386
Compiling fpdoctest1.pas
11 Lines compiled, 0.0 sec

fpdoc failes:

fpdoc --package=test --input='-Sm fpdoctest1.pas'

FPDoc - Free Pascal Documentation Tool
(c) 2000 - 2003 Areca Systems GmbH / Sebastian Guenther,

fpdoctest1.pas(5,5): Expected "interface" at token "Identifier HELLO" An unhandled exception occurred at $0040E3DC :
EAccessViolation : Access violation
$0040E3DC
$0040E317
$00402417
$004027B6

I need this type of defines, even if it looks strange... It's not a urgent problem, but it would be nice if it works.

Should this work ?
It is known not to work ?
What needs to be done (and where) to make this work ?

Thank you

One day, yes.

It is known not to work ?

It is known that support for macros is missing...

What needs to be done (and where) to make this work ?

pscanner.pp in fcl/passrc needs to have macro support.
