unicodestring = java.lang.String. The reason this was the default in
the past is that this was the first string type that was implemented,
and without it being the default most code involving string operations
would fail. Now the default strings types are the same as for other
targets
+ new {$modeswitch unicodestrings} directive, that when activated
*together* with {$h+},
1) changes char into an alias for widechar
2) changes string into an alias for unicodestring
3) changes the preferred string evaluation type (in case of uncertainty)
to unicodestring
{$modeswitch unicodestrings} with {$h-} does not change anything at all
regarding the string type (it still changes the char type)
+ new uuchar unit that redefines char as widechar, and which is automatically
included by the compiler if {$modeswitch unicodestrings} is enabled

o sets of enums are handled as JUEnumSet instances, others as JUBitSet
derivatives (both smallsets and varsets, to make interoperability with
Java easier)
o special handling of set constants: these have to be constructed at run
time. In case of constants in the code, create an internal constsym to
represent them. These and regular constsyms are then aliased by an
another internal staticvarsym that is used to initialise them in the
unit initialisation code.
o until they are constructed at run time, set constants are encoded as
constant Java strings (with the characters containing the set bits)
o hlcgobj conversion of tcginnode.pass_generate_code() for the genjumps
part (that's the only part of the generic code that's used by the JVM
target)
o as far as explicit typecasting support is concerned, currently the
following ones are supported (both from/to setdefs): ordinal types,
enums, any other set types (whose size is the same on native targets)
o enum setdefs also emit signatures
o overloading routines for different ordinal set types, or for different
enum set types, is not supported on the JVM target

only JVM constructs that are already implemented, but also ones that
will be supported in the future but that aren't implemented yet (to
make it easier to already adapt code to the future changes)

is unicodestring (does *not* change the type of "char" to "unicodechar"
(yet)). Not yet (un)selectable via a directive.
+ systems_default_unicodestring set containing systems on which the
default string type is unicodestring

is real before transforming a multiply into an sqr operation (fixes make
cycle after r18252, don't know where or even how it caused a wrong
optimization)

- allow pointermath for pchar, pwidechar, array[] of char and array[] of widechar without pointermath directive,
- don't check tpointerdef().has_pointer_math if this is not a tpointerdef
This fixes testsuite regression (tbs/tb0439.pp)
git-svn-id: trunk@16679 -
is_implicit_pointer_object_type() to better indicate the purpose of
that routine, and to avoid having to change its name every time
a new object type with this property is added

from the unit initialisation sections to the variable declaration sections
to prevent the base units from overriding derived classes (based on patch
by Hans-Peter Dietrich, mantis #17516)

that was set during the typecheck pass because typeconversion nodes
may have been optimised away previously and sometimes the resultdef is
important (e.g. for the value of callparanodes) (mantis #17458)

properties/behaviour of the equivalent of Extended in C (i.e., to
"long double" on i386 and x86_64 platforms that support a 10 byte

compares by avoiding unnecessary sign extensions (fixes bug reported in
http://lists.freepascal.org/lists/fpc-pascal/2010-January/023907.html )
* never throw away int2int type conversions on bitpacked loads, because
in these cases the proper bits still need to be selected

starting with a previous 2.3.1 or compiler built from the objc branch
+ added basic objcprotocol support (only for external protocols
currently)
o use in type declaration: "type xp = objcprotocol ... end;"
o when defining a root class that implements it:
"type yc = objcclass(xp) ... end" (note: no support yet
for something like "objcclass(id,xp)" or so)
o when defining a non-root class that implements a protocol:
"type zc = objcclass(nsobject,xp) ... end"
o includes support for "required" and "optional" sections
o no support yet for the objcprotocol(<protocol>) expression
that enables getting a class instance representing the
protocol (e.g., for use with "conformsToProtocol:")
o message names have to specified in protocol declarations,
but if an objcclass implements a protocol, the message names do
not have to be repeated (but if they are, they have to match;
the same goes when overriding inherited methods)
+ allow specifying the external name of Objective-C classes and
protocols, since classes and protocols can have the same name
(and you cannot use the same Pascal identifier in such caseq)
+ added NSObject protocol, and make the NSObject class use it
+ added missing NSObject class methods that have the same name
as instance methods (added "class" name prefix to avoid clashes)
* fixed several cases where the compiler did not treat Objective-C
classes/protocols the same as Object Pascal classes/interfaces
(a.o., forward declarations, alignment, regvars, several type
conversions, ...)
* allow "override" directive in objcclass declarations, and print
a hint if it's forgotten in an external declaration (because it
doesn't really matter there, and may make automated header
conversion harder than necessary) and an error if will be used in
a non-external declaration (because it is not possible to start
a new vmt entry-tree in Objective-C, you can only override parent
methods)
* reject objcclasses/protocols as parameters to typeof()
* don't try to test VMT validity of objcclasses/protocols
