Hello,
Can anyone explain, why I encounter fatal error 9999 after falling into panic mode when compiling a program with -B switch ? It happens in the final stage, when the program is linked (I suppose), because the last program line is indicated to cause the error. However the resulting executable is created and seems to work (at least start running without error). So what does the error mean ? (I use fpc v. 1.0.2 under linux).

I'll be very thankful for any response,

9999 is an internal compiler error. Typically you would want to send all the information you can to the FPC developers because you've more than likely stumbled on a bug in the compiler. If I'm wrong, one of the developers please let me know. :)

The error means the compiler crashed (but we catch this and convert this to "internalerror(9999)".

This means that you've found a bug in the compiler. Please send me (via email, not via the list) the code that provokes this error, so we can fix it. Thanks.
