Porting Freepascal to Delphi won't give you a freepascal backend with
a delphi IDE frontend, so I'm still confused what the benefits are.
What exactly are your goals? To develop code in the Delphi IDE but
compile it with freepascal? Extend freepascal with Delphi syntax?
Maybe a clear statement of what you're trying to accomplish would help.
"
For now the goal is easy:
"Compile free pascal with Delphi".
The next (personal) goal for me is:
"Add support for virtual machines and other machines"
(By writing internal assemblers).
I think that's what you mean with "backend"... so yes after the "port" is
done I want to try and attempt to write a back-end maybe even multiple ;)
Others might use the free pascal delphi source for other things... like work
on front-end or so.
(I am much faster at developing code with Delphi than with any other tool,
so that's why I want free pascal ported to Delphi (there are many other
reasons though)).
(I also find it very important to have my own "object pascal compiler" for
the future... (So I don't have to worry about being left standing in the
cold ;) =D))
Bye,
Skybuck.
