[Pkg-pascal-devel] Bug#845504: /usr/bin/ppdep-3.0.0: Claims to understand conditional defines, but doesn't handle {$ELSE}

[Ben Longbons]

Package: fp-utils-3.0.0
Version: 3.0.0+dfsg-9
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/ppdep-3.0.0

Dear Maintainer,


In the `gearhead` package, `ppdep gharena.pas` produces almost no
output, whereas `ppdep -dSDLMODE gharena.pas` produces plenty.

Relevant source snippet:

{$IFDEF SDLMODE}
uses gears,sdlgfx,arenahq,sdlmenus,randchar,navigate,sdlmap;
{$ELSE}
uses gears,congfx,arenahq,conmenus,randchar,navigate,context,mapedit;
{$ENDIF}

Expected output:
gharena: gharena.pas <huge list of .ppu files>
foo.ppu: foo.pp <possible list of other .ppu files>

Actual output:
gharena: gharena.pas

Workaround:

{$IFNDEF SDLMODE}
{$DEFINE TUIMODE}
{$ENDIF}

{$IFDEF SDLMODE}
uses gears,sdlgfx,arenahq,sdlmenus,randchar,navigate,sdlmap;
{$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF TUIMODE}
uses gears,congfx,arenahq,conmenus,randchar,navigate,context,mapedit;
{$ENDIF}

... and so on, 269 more times. Assuming none of those {$ELSE}s is for
something "else" besides {$IFDEF SDLMODE}.
