Re: [fpc-pascal] Parameterless constructors are not allowed in records or record/type helpers

Thanks got it now. Not ideal but it works and is a small improvement over a function. > On Feb 6, 2017, at 2:06 PM, Sven Barth wrote: > > You need to add the "static" modifier to the method. Class functions in > records can't have a self parameter and the "static"

I tried class functions in records already but I got the error "Class methods must be static in records”. Not sure what that means but I assumed they don’t work either. Too bad, that would be a nice feature. > On Feb 6, 2017, at 2:29 AM, Sven Barth wrote: > > Oh,

Re: [fpc-pascal] Parameterless constructors are not allowed in records or record/type helpers

I never knew Pascal had default parameters, a feature I always use and enjoy in PHP. Once again I learn something new about the language I use. :) However, the constructor with default params does not work. I get the same error as before. {$modeswitch advancedrecords} is on. type
