And the fact that the Borland Pascal compatibility for one feature that was 
introduced when smartlinking was introduced (TP4? TP5?) is still not present in 
FPC, in casu the fact that when I use a declare of

const
   list_ptr: listptr = nil;
   list_top: listptr = nil;
   list_end: listptr = nil;

and my code only implicitly references list_top via a call to a procedure with 
an untyped parameter, passing only list_ptr, FPC smart^H^H^H^Htupid_links it away.

And yes, like another poster mentioned, the debugger stinks, and given that the 
full TP6 source, whether original, or reconstructed has been available for at 
least two decades, the FPC IDE is an absolute C of C.
