Hi all!!

Whats the current state of Lazarus when dealing with packages with dotted units (namespaces)?

Should I avoid this idea?

The best regards,

It's working.

Best regards,

Dotted unit names are supported more or less.

No. Instead please work with them and report problems. I found 2 related bug reports:

https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=24269
- FPDoc. May not be relevant in your case. (?)

https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=20892
- The original bug is fixed long time ago, but I understood there are 2 others that should be reported separately.
- F12 in designer.
- Codetools issues.
Can you please test and report the remaining issues. I will resolve #20892 then.

... and those may be fixed already, too.

I believe they were already fixed. I'm using it without these problems.

Thanks. I was lazy to test myself now.
Ondrej resolved the issue. The dotted names support may be quite perfect now.

My issues are related with Codetools. After insert a component or a control where the class is declared on dotted unit, I can't add a second component/control declared on other dotted unit. But I'll update my Lazarus first and then report my experiences.

Thanks

In fact, even the -NS switch is supported by the IDE. So when eventually FPC supports it Lazarus is ready.

Hi Fabio,

i think, this is the Bug https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=32247 you mean. It is in also in Lazarus 1.8RC3 with akctual FPC trunk

So does FPC or Lazarus already support the ability to specify the default namespace that must be applied for a project? If so how and where do you specify the namespace to be applied?

eg:
With Delphi I can write code using the Forms unit, but then at compile time I can specify the VCL or FMX namespace, and the correct <namespace>.Forms.pas unit will be used. This is a key feature of namespaces and dotted units - and very useful in framework type code.

Last time I checked [some months ago] FPC and Lazarus only supported dotted unit names, but the ability to specify a default namespace was not supported yet.

Graeme

Specifying default namespaces (yes, plural) is not yet supported by FPC.

Okay, thanks for confirming that Sven.
