[Lazarus] circular reference etc.

[etienne.leblois at free.fr]

in a famous French langage dictionnary there was once upon a time a perfect circular reference

étourneau (see) sansonnet

sansonnet (see) étourneau

such a circular reference is a deadlock in semantic, with one meaning depending from the other and recursively from itself

it causes compilation failure

an endless loop is for sure different, where at least the semantic is clear

repeat { nothing } until false;

it causes execution hang

regards,

Etienne.

P.S. both étourneau and sansonnet are indeed the same thing (a bird) , as one can check : http://translate.google.com/?#en|fr|starling
