Hi, I ported some code (a Relationship Manager design pattern) that was written in Delphi to Free Pascal. I noticed that the original author used 'strict private' in the class declarations - where one unit had multiple classes.
I simply removed the 'strict' part and FPC was happy. Is FPC going to support the 'strict private' keywords? I haven't read up on what exactly it means, but from the name, I would guess that if you have multiple classes in a single unit and some code is under 'strict private' section, that the other classes can't access it? By default in FPC all code, even from different classes, in the same unit can access anything in other classes (private, protected and public). Is my assumption correct? If so, this could be a handy addition. To achieve the same in Free Pascal, those classes will have to be defined in separate units, which is not always ideal.
