In attempting to check the resolution of the GDB/DWARF issue
reported earlier, we've encountered a new (apparent) FPC bug.
FPC 2.3.1 (SVN 8427) is producing this new compilation error:
"Error: Can't take the address of constant expressions"
when attempting to compile a line:
EOF(MyFile);
where MyFile is a property of a class defined thus:
TMyClass = class(TAnotherClass)
private
FFile : TextFile;
protected
property MyFile : TextFile read FFile;
public
::
::
end;
FPC 2.1.4, Delphi6 and Kylix3 don't complain.
Replacing MyFile with FFile work OK (but is not what we want
for other reasons).
Is this a new bug or a new definition of how properties may
be handled with EOF?
Cheers, Bruce.
