It's a dilemma. Though scientifically Delphi's mechanism is wrong but we
can't just 'fix' it, especially if there are lot of codes that depend on
it, or if Borland/CodeGear let the bug exists on purpose (backward
compatibility?). The fix will break the Delphi 'compatibility'.
I suggest FPC to keep the Delphi compatibility to be as much as
possible, or even 100% if possible. BUT, keep those compatibilities on
Delphi mode only. That's what Delphi mode is all about, right? FPC could
use the better/correct mechanism on and only on FPC mode.
Or add a check for NIL owner. So if the owner of the component property is the
streamed component or NIL, the component properties are streamed, otherwise
the reference is streamed.
This I can live with. It will solve your problem.
I'll implement it as soon as we have the SVN server working again.
Michael.
