some questions ...

Hallo gpc,



Somebody have found the C2PAS converter?


Why is the boolean type internal so big (Integer) ?
Boolean should only use a bit - yes thats stupid, but a byte should work  
fast and easy !?


Why crashed the compiler very often?
Yes, I know syntax errors are my faults - but other compilers (you know  
what I mean) are not so touchy.


If the compiler found a syntax fault, I think in some cases it's better to  
show the fault position in the line.


How I can _create_ functions with free type parameters,
_without get a warning_ while using with different typed variabels?

working example in BP :
   function SendBuffer(var Buffer; BufferSize: Integer): Integer;

My suggestion:
function SendBuffer(var Buffer: Void; BufferSize: Integer): Integer;
should not generate a warning in using of SendBuffer ...


Greetings, Sven ...
