Hi,
[I was asked this by somebody else]
When using FPC's JVM backend... does that cause language restrictions? eg: limiting the usage of unsigned numbers and pointers when targeting the JVM?
Regards,
Graeme.

Wow, things are really hard to find in the wiki.
* No link to that page mentioned, from it's parent page http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/FPC_JVM
* No mention of that link in the JVM category
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Category:JVM
etc...
No wonder we hear of so many people frustrated with not finding information about FPC (or Lazarus). This is now the second discussion in a week I have had with somebody new to FPC, that simply can't find information (both actually related to mobile development with FPC). Hell, I've used FPC since 2006 and I couldn't even find this info.
Anyway, I'll do my bit and pass the URL mention on, and add links to the wiki.
Regards,
G.

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/FPC_JVM
That page /is/ linked from its parent page (at the bottom, under "More information" with the title "Supported language constructs and other programming information").

this is true for all wikis... i've never found one that wasn't hard to get around on...
i like the "what links here" links but have never seen a "this links where" one that shows the other pages the current one links to... you gotta already be on the page to find out what links to it but ya can't go the other way around...

Wow, things are really hard to find in the wiki.
Searching the wiki for JVM worked just fine for me... Similar with other subjects.
IMO, searching for things in the wiki is easier than searching the mailinglist archives or forums... but to each their own...

Is it so hard to google "fpc jvm language limitations" ?

Yes, especially if your internet has been down for 3/4 of the day [2 days in a row].

Funny that the Wiki software would not support this. It should be rather easy to extract that information from the database.

So there is an offline wiki?
