This does look kind of strange at first but all that is happening is
that the compiler sees a blank statement inside the begin..end block.
Think of it this way:
if (assigned(loc)) then begin
; // this is OK. It just gets optimized out
// somecode
end;
This will compile fine too:
if (assigned(loc)) then begin;;;;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;;;
// somecode
end;;;;;;;;;;

Subject: strange coding
Hello,
By accident a came across a strange coding:
if (assigned(loc)) then begin;
// somecode
end;
Note the ';' after the begin !
This compiles fine. Wy ? Is this a minor flaw, or has this some Pascal
history ?
