+ use {$bitpacking on/+} to change the meaning of "packed"
into "bitpacked" for arrays. This is the default for MacPas.
You can also define individual arrays as "bitpacked", but
this is not encouraged since this keyword is not known by
other compilers and therefore makes your code unportable.
+ pack(unpackedarray,index,packedarray) to pack
length(packedarray) elements starting at
unpackedarray[index] into packedarray.
+ unpack(packedarray,unpackedarray,index) to unpack
packedarray into unpackedarray, with the first
element being stored at unpackedarray[index]
* todo:
* "open packed arrays" and rtti for packed arrays are not
yet supported
* gdb does not properly support bitpacked arrays

(otherwise this breaks code which uses that name for a parameter
or variabled) -- this disables the ability to use properties
in objects until support is added elsewhere in the compiler,
but change is needed since it breaks the compilation of the
universal headers.
git-svn-id: trunk@2569 -
cdecl/cppdecl procedures on Mac OS/Mac OS X to fix compatibility with
GPC (slightly more efficient than Metrowerks behaviour below, but
less efficient in most cases than our previous scheme)
+ "mwpascal" procedure directive to support the const record parameter
behaviour of Metrowerks Pascal, which passes all const records by
reference
- invalid calling conventions for a certain cpu are rejected
- arm softfloat calling conventions
- -Sp for cpu dependend code generation
- several arm fixes
- remaining code for value open array paras on heap
name to lowercase(declaration_name). This prevents a normal user from
accessing the routine, but they can still be easily looked up within
the compiler. This is used for helper procedures and should facilitate
the writing of more processor independent code in the code generator
itself (mostly written by Peter)
+ new "createintern" constructor for tcal nodes to create a call to
helper exported using the "compilerproc" directive
+ support for high(dynamic_array) using the the above new things
+ definition of 'HASCOMPILERPROC' symbol (to be able to check in the
compiler and rtl whether the "compilerproc" directive is supported)
- out, dispose and new can be used as idenfiers now
- const p = apointerype(nil); is supported now
+ support for const p = apointertype(pointer(1234)); added
