Hi,
What is the state of published record in fpc trunk?
You cannot publish records, and this is not planned.
This is because things like
MyClass.MyRecord.MyField:=12;
do not work as one would naively expect. It does work if you use a TPersistent
instead of a record (the very reason the TPersistent class was invented)
However, you can use extended RTTI to access this typeinfo and manipulate the record.
That works.
