Compiler manual says:
I have worked with this limitation for many years, and my complex code looked ugly where I had to comply to this rule and avoid code indentation. However, in code example below {$X-} switch works even when intended in code:
Does this mean that compiler finally doesn't care if we intend compiler switches to beautify our code? If so then manual should be updated.
:3some:
btw. I am aware of {$DEBDELAY} and "Short mDelay" menu switch in simulator, but there is code with many delays where my mDelaySim() is essential for simulation.

The switches must start in the first column of a line.
I have worked with this limitation for many years, and my complex code looked ugly where I had to comply to this rule and avoid code indentation. However, in code example below {$X-} switch works even when intended in code:
Code
{ $D-} // do not step following code in debuger
procedure mDelaySim(const msec: word);
begin
{$X-} // do not execute following code in simulator
mDelay(msec);
{$X+}
end;
{ $D+}
procedure mDelaySim(const msec: word);
begin
{$X-} // do not execute following code in simulator
mDelay(msec);
{$X+}
end;
{ $D+}
