Sure. I mean something like following (completely artificial example): function PureFunc1: ... function F(arg: Integer): Integer; var s:Integer; begin s:=0; for i:=0 to 100 do s:=s+PureFunc(arg); Result:=s; end; Of course, the real value of pure functions for optimization oppotunities is some combination of generics and closures, but that's completely another story... -- Regards, Denis Golovan _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
