About Pascal language addition in NEWS.
What about adding this text in front of the missing features ?
* Partial support for debugging Pascal programs.
Support for pascal language is partially included
Available features are:
-- Support for pascal specific types like sets.
-- Automatic recognition of pascal sources based on standard extensions
-- Pascal like display of types, variables and functions
-- Pascal expression parser
However many important features are not yetsupported.
A partial list of problems:
+
+ - Pascal string operations are not supported at all.
+
+ - There are some problems with boolean types.
+
+ - Pascal type hexadecimal constants are not supported
+ because they conflict with the internal variables format.
+
- Pascal Objects and Classes are not fully supported.
- Symbol case insensitiveness not supported.
