Mixed comments in pcom.pas and pint.pas?

[blueglyph]

In sources/pcom.pas, I see:

(*$l-,p*)
{*******************************************************************************
*                                                                              *
*                         PASCAL-P5 PORTABLE INTERPRETER                       *

and further comments suggesting it's the interpreter.

In sources/pint.pas, I see:

(*$l-,u-*)
{*******************************************************************************
*                                                                              *
*                           Portable Pascal compiler                           *

Is it possible that a part of those files has been swapped? From the documentation and the file names, it looks like pcom is the compiler and pint the bytecode interpreter.

Though I don't know if pint.pas is a working version. At first glance, I already see an unclosed comment line 713, so I don't expect it to compile, unless I missed something obvious. I've checked the 1.4 tag, but the issues remain the same.

Odd comments

Yes, the comment is funny. Its that way in Pascal-P6 well.

Unterminated comment

{ end of accessor functions

(*--------------------------------------------------------------------*)

Good catch. The rules of ISO 7185 Pascal mean it skips the next comment start and ends on line 715. I'll fix it.

Does it compile

Yes it compiles, and all of the code passes the regression test. For reference, this is a version 1+ repo. I don't commit code to a 1+ repo that does not compile or pass tests.

Thanks for the report!
