There are two new undocumented procedure directives in the Delphi 8 compiler. Presumably, these are in preparation for Delphi 9, which is coming at the end of the year, as mentioned here.
These are: winapi and ilcode.
I have yet to discover what these directives do, however, on encountering winapi, the compiler complains that “[Error] filename.dpr(nn): xxxx must be yyyy”.
So, Dan, since you said “I dunno. I don't really need my hand held all the way from beginning to end.”, how about doing some sleuthing work and find out what “xxxx” and “yyyy” stands for? ;o) And, if you managed to find out, try and figure out the use of winapi and ilcode.
All: I've changed the actual title from [three words] to “stuff” so that Dan can have his fun.
