Windows.pas

User interface > Translation options > Input options > Definitions > Windows.pas

If there is no Definition set either of CPUX86 or of Win64 the Windows.pas cannot be parsed. That's because of the following code:

function InterlockedBitTestAndComplement(Base: PInteger; Offset: Integer): ByteBool;

{$IFDEF CPUX86}

...

{$ENDIF CPUX86}

{$IFDEF Win64}

...

{$ENDIF CPUX64}

There will remain a function declaration only and the parser will regard all following functions as sub-functions to this declaration. So nearly the whole file gets parsed, before the missing function body is discovered. This bug is very hard to find.
