And I fear that this heuristic will lead to confusing error messages. I hope there is a better way. Delphi does not support it. It thinks it is an undefined attribute. So IMO FPC's [] modifier should be disabled in mode delphi+delphiunicode. So the problem will only happen in mode objfpc or when the user enable the modeswitch prefixedattributes. Maybe pparser can use a heuristic. What is the syntax and keywords of fpc's [] modifier? If it is correct that FPC's modifier was never documented and is hardly used, perhaps a $modeswitch procmodifierbrackets can be added?
