Hello,

After quite a long time of absence from FPC, I decided to pick it up again.
One of the first things I stumbled upon was the absence of ResourceStringTableCount, GetResourceStringHash and related functions.
Is there somewhere a list that tells me all the changes between 22.4.0 and previous versions?

Thanks for any help,

Regards,

Hans.

The RTL sources indicate that they are only available when you compile your application using Delphi (-Mdelphi or {$mode delphi}) or ObjFPC (- Mobjfpc or {$mode objfpc}) syntax modes.

Is there somewhere a list that tells me all the changes between 22.4.0 and previous versions?

In terms of what has been added: the various "whatsnew.txt" files in the releases, or from svn-web: http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/tags/release_2_4_0/install/doc/whatsnew.txt (that one also contains the "whatsnew" info from previous releases)

In terms of things that may require you to change code or which may affect the usage of the compiler: http://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_2.4.0 (and similar pages for previous releases, linked from the first paragraph).

These functions still exist.

You must use -S2 or -Sd to see them. Or put {$mode objfpc} or {$mode delphi} in your sources.

Hello Jonas,

Thanks to you and Michael for the speedy reply.

The funny thing is, that I have that directive in all my sources, indirectly vi $I statement. I wonder if I have to give a full path name there? Will try that out tonight.

I will check them out tonight.

This as well.

If the compiler cannot find an include file, it will terminate with an error.

Will try that out tonight.

These directives are global and must appear near the top (before the "uses" statement and any declarations). In some older FPC versions, this was not checked very strictly. Enable warnings (-vw) and the compiler will print a warning when it encounters a global directive in a wrong place:

tt.pp(9,2) Warning: Misplaced global compiler switch
