The Free Pascal compiler will compile in a specific mode. Each mode dictates what syntax the compiler accepts as valid, and what it considers as invalid. The compiler mode can be set in the source code with the {$mode } compiler directive, or on the command line with the -M option.

  • Free Pascal: {$mode FPC}
    This is the original Free Pascal compiler mode. As of version 3, It is the default mode of the compiler, so it is not necessary to explicitly add this directive.
  • Turbo Pascal: {$mode TP}
    This is the Turbo Pascal compatibility mode.
  • Delphi: {$mode DELPHI}
    This is the Delphi compatibility mode.
  • Mac Pascal: {$mode MacPAS}
    The Mac Pascal compatibility mode.
