Anyway, I had looked at your patch last Friday, but after some thinking I came to the conclusion that I definitely don't want the typehelpers modeswitch to enable inheritance on record helpers in mode Delphi cause that would be some unexpected sideeffect on that switch. However to implement this correctly I'll need to store the helper type in the PPU. It's nothing big, just something I need to find the time for...
Great. Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.
Btw. when you are so strict about disabling helper inheritance due to Delphi compatibility why do you allow C-like operators in Delphi mode by default? program Cop; {$mode delphi} var I: Integer; begin I := 0; I += 1; end. ... and they even have their COPERATORS directive.Two things: 1. If you compile with -n (and -Fupath/to/rtl) you'll see that it is not Delphi mode that enables the C-operators, but the default fpc.cfg (and no, I don't know who had the idea to enable that as default; maybe it was originally default and then moved to a directive, but kept set by default using the fpc.cfg... - for this however see the next point)
This is what I thought as well. I took a look into my fpc.cfg and saw -Sc is commented out:
# -Sc supports operators like C (*=,+=,/= and -=) But I didn't look at the end of the section where it is defined: -Sgic My apologies :) But there are still inconsistences that just feel strange :/ Ondrej _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
