  $Log$
  Revision 1.50  2001-10-20 19:28:39  peter
    * interface 2 guid support
    * guid constants support

  Revision 1.49  2001/10/17 22:41:05  florian
    * several widechar fixes, case works now

  Revision 1.48  2001/10/16 17:15:44  jonas
    * auto-converting from int64 to real is again allowed for all modes
      (it's allowed in Delphi too)

  Revision 1.47  2001/09/03 13:27:41  jonas
    * compilerproc implementation of set addition/substraction/...
    * changed the declaration of some set helpers somewhat to accomodate the
      above change
    * i386 still uses the old code for comparisons of sets, because its
      helpers return the results in the flags
    * dummy tc_normal_2_small_set type conversion because I need the original
      resulttype of the set add nodes
    NOTE: you have to start a cycle with 1.0.5!

  Revision 1.46  2001/09/02 21:15:34  peter
    * don't allow int64->real for delphi mode

  Revision 1.45  2001/08/19 21:11:21  florian
    * some bugs fix:
      - overload; with external procedures fixed
      - better selection of routine to do an overloaded
        type case
      - ... some more

  Revision 1.44  2001/07/08 21:00:16  peter
    * various widestring updates, it works now mostly without charset
      mapping supported

  Revision 1.43  2001/06/29 14:16:57  jonas
    * fixed inconsistent handling of procvars in FPC mode (sometimes @ was
      required to assign the address of a procedure to a procvar, sometimes
      not. Now it is always required) (merged)

  Revision 1.42  2001/05/08 21:06:33  florian
    * some more support for widechars commited especially
      regarding type casting and constants

  Revision 1.41  2001/04/22 22:46:49  florian
    * more variant support

  Revision 1.40  2001/04/18 22:02:00  peter
    * registration of targets and assemblers

  Revision 1.39  2001/04/13 01:22:17  peter
    * symtable change to classes
    * range check generation and errors fixed, make cycle DEBUG=1 works
    * memory leaks fixed

  Revision 1.38  2001/04/04 21:30:47  florian
    * applied several fixes to get the DD8 Delphi Unit compiled
     e.g. "forward"-interfaces are working now

  Revision 1.37  2001/04/02 21:20:35  peter
    * resulttype rewrite

  Revision 1.36  2001/03/23 00:16:07  florian
    + some stuff to compile FreeCLX added

  Revision 1.35  2001/03/03 12:38:33  jonas

  Revision 1.34  2001/02/26 19:44:55  peter
    * merged generic m68k updates from fixes branch

  Revision 1.33  2001/02/26 12:47:46  jonas
    * fixed bug in type checking for compatibility of set elements (merged)
    * released fix in options.pas from Carl also for FPC (merged)

  Revision 1.32  2001/02/20 21:44:25  peter

    * string isn't compatible with array of char

  Revision 1.29  2000/12/25 00:07:30  peter
    + new tlinkedlist class (merge of old tstringqueue,tcontainer and
      tlinkedlist objects)

  Revision 1.28  2000/12/22 22:38:12  peter
    * fixed bug #1286

  Revision 1.27  2000/12/20 15:59:40  jonas
    - removed obsolete special case for range checking of cardinal constants
      at compile time

  Revision 1.26  2000/12/11 19:13:54  jonas
    * fixed range checking of cardinal constants
    * fixed range checking of "qword constants" (they don't really exist,
      but values > high(int64) were set to zero if assigned to qword)

  Revision 1.25  2000/12/08 14:06:11  jonas
    * fix for web bug 1245: arrays of char with size >255 are now passed to
      overloaded procedures which expect ansistrings instead of shortstrings
      if possible
    * pointer to array of chars (when using $t+) are now also considered
      pchars

  Revision 1.24  2000/11/20 15:52:47  jonas
    * testrange now always cuts a constant to the size of the destination
      if a rangeerror occurred
    * changed an "and $ffffffff" to "and (int64($fffffff) shl 4 + $f" to
      work around the constant evaluation problem we currently have

  Revision 1.23  2000/11/13 14:42:41  jonas
    * fix in testrange so that 64bit constants are properly truncated when
      assigned to 32bit vars

    * symtable splitted, no real code changes

  Revision 1.15  2000/10/21 18:16:12  florian
    * a lot of changes:
       - basic dyn. array support
       - basic C++ support
       - some work for interfaces done
       ....

  Revision 1.14  2000/10/14 10:14:56  peter

    * more cg11 updates

  Revision 1.11  2000/09/24 15:06:32  peter
    * use defines.inc

  Revision 1.10  2000/09/18 12:31:15  jonas
    * fixed bug in push_addr_param for arrays (merged from fixes branch)

  Revision 1.5  2000/08/12 06:49:22  florian
    + case statement for int64/qword implemented

  Revision 1.4  2000/08/08 19:26:41  peter
