Wishlist: predicates to check unit/library/include file exists

Original Reporter info from Mantis: MarkMLl @MarkMLl
  • Reporter name: Mark Morgan Lloyd

Description:

Even if only available in development versions of the compiler, it would be useful to have predicates to check that files being referenced were actually available.

Additional information:

Something like:

$IF defined(Linux) and (FPC_FULLVERSION>=20701)}
  {$if libexists cairo-gobject}
    {$LinkLib cairo-gobject}
  {$else }
    {$error: Experimental code in %file% near %line% attempts to link cairo-gobject}
  {$endif }
{$ENDIF}
