Hi,

I noticed something strange (to me at least) when using the -Sh compiler commandline option.

It seems that the {$mode objfpc} directive or the -S2 compile commandline option resets the -Sh commandline option. When runnig the attached sample I get the following output (notice the order of -Sh and -S2):
