Free Pascal supports compiler directives in the source file. Basically the same directives as in Turbo Pascal, Delphi and Apple Pascal (Mac OS) pascal compilers are supported. Some are recognized for compatibility only, and have no effect.

General:

Specific:

Code generation

Data inclusion

Paths

Target-dependent

Novell NetWare only

Windows-based systems

  • {$imageBase} specifies DLL image base location
  • {$minStackSize}
  • {$maxStackSize}
  • {$setPEFlags}
  • {$version} defines version number of a DLL

Miscellaneous

Ignored

  • {$description}: introduced for compatibility and as of FPC 3.0.4 ignored
  • {$G} would generate 80286 code with TP
  • {$localSymbols} or {$L}
