Actually, with other parts of this patch accepted FList may even remain private, since the procedures I added are exactly what Lazarus (currently) needs. However, they will only be available after fpc 2.4 is out, which is IIUC still at least half a year away. So to avoid such issues in the future I think 'protected' is appropriate safeguard. As for the property -- sure, it can be used, but I do not see any essential difference in this case. So whatever you prefer. > And maybe next time, open a bug report with the patch, so it won't be > forgotten. ;) Actually, from my recent experience, the best course of action is to use both mailing list and Mantis at once ;-) -- Alexander S.
