[DUG] D2005+ You may find it amusing

[Myles Penlington]

One issue with the compiler is circular indirect references. It does get
stuck in a loop sometimes and keeps compiling the same units again and
again (D5-D7) just used to fail, D2006 was better would compile, D2007
is worse in this respect.

Essentially the same as the batch file that compiles it using the
command line, deletes all the dcus.  I havent trusted the build.  :-)

Do you mean compile or build? 

With compile I can understand (from the IDE). I would expect that
"Build/Rebuild" would give the same results each time.

The other thing that may be of concern to some is that the output from
the compiler changes every time you compile - comparing the bytes that
is.

We have a high security project for a bank, that started with Delphi3.
The final part of the audit has been that the code (that is in rom) is
dumped to a cd which the auditor takes away and compares with freshly
compiled source on his pc.  This worked in D5 and D7.

Starting with D2005, they do not match.  This was a major setup in the
auditing process.
