Jonas,
No. He's using MacPas mode in FPC 2.5.1. In that mode, nested procedural variables are supported (and also in ISO mode, and also in all other syntax modes if you add {$modeswitch nestedprocvars}). The error message was caused by a compiler bug.This declares a regular procvar, while the original declaration declares a nested procvar. Declaring it as a separate type would have to be done like this: Type TMyProc Procedure(var y:myObject) is nested; Note that you can assign both global and nested/local procedures to a nested procedural variable (and also call both using such a procvar). And be careful when using a separate "is nested" type, because then you can construct code that calls a nested procedural variable outside the scope where it is valid (which will result in undefined behaviour).
thanks for the explanation, I didn't know all this. I don't use nested procedures as parameters, so from the error message I just assumed they weren't allowed.
