Hi,
While trying to solve https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=38306 I
got this error I have never seen before.
_gdeque.pp(249,4) Error: Global Generic template references static symtable
_gdeque.pp(302) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping
Fatal: Compilation aborted
Line 249 is the "end;" of a method (IncreaseCapacity) of a generic class.
If I remove this line the error goes away:
Elems := Min(EmptyElems, FStart);
Elems and EmptyElems are local vars to that method.
FStart is a private variable of the class.
function Min(const A,B: SizeUInt): SizeUInt; //no need to drag in the
entire Math unit ;-)
begin
if (A<B) then
Result := A
else
Result := B;
end;
This function is not part of the class definition.
I defined it in the implementation section of the unit.
Once I moved that function to be a nested function of the method
IncreaseCapacity (it's only used there), the error goes away.
It seems I cannot use a stand-alone function that is declared in the
implementation of the unit?
Why is that?
Bart
