SRL Archive - RS3 Help

I noticed that {$f-} is in most, if not all, of the files for the SRL include and I was just curious as to why?
I googled it and found this, but it says it's for compatibility with Turbo Pascal and is used for near/far calls, but has no relevance with 32/64 bit programming, and is ignored. So why are they added with SRL? Do they have a different meaning to Simba or something?

It's just to enforce the include developers to use parenthesis when invoking methods (even when there's no parameter).

begin
{$f-}
Simba;  //does nothing
Simba(); //works
{$f+}
end.

Ah ok. It's weird to me to not use parenthesis, but maybe that's cause I come from a C/C++ background lol. Anyway thank you :)

Also function pointers with f- become:

{f-}
[INDENT]ptr := functionname;[/INDENT]

but with f+ it is:

{f+}
[INDENT]ptr := @functionname;[/INDENT]

I haven't messed with any pointers using Simba yet(mostly cause I haven't found the need for the things I've done), but I will keep that in mind. Thanks
