If this is what you always had in mind for the FPC dialect, fair enough. It is your project, after all :-) I shall submit appropriate change requests for the documentation, as well as for several other simplifications for all other conditionals except CASE..OF that then become possible. I will also submit another set of change requests to *not* do that in modes TP, DELPHI and ISO for code compatibility reasons. Probably a 'modeswitch strictenums' or something like that.
To remind you: CASE..OF is currently the only statement that casts this concept into code (grep -R getrange compiler/*). Everything else is consistent and compatible. Regards, Martok PS: starting a mail with "good morning" looks rather stupid if one then spends two hours writing it. Hm. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
