Early that year 2.5.1 was trunk yes. That same code is now the future fixes branch for 2.6, for which a RC1 is already available. > Now I'm trying to make that code work with > current stable (AFAICS that's 2.4.4) Correct, but it is relatively short before the 2.6.0 release, with a first RC1 already available. Since 2.6.0 might arrive this year still (or in the first week of the next), I suggest your focus your attention there, and forget about 2.4.4. > I suppose something has changed with the FPC interfaces and/or using > the "as" keyword in the above construct.

I assume it is bugfixed in 2.5+, which never made it back to the 2.4 series. > That said, I'm sure it's my fault to find the info or it's my fault in > some other way - me being blind to see something obviously wrong with > the code in the snippet, though I'm sure it used to compile w/o > problem before. It doesnt seem to be one of the major differences, so it is not a stupid question. (major ones I mean documented ones like: http://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_2.6.0#IInterface.QueryInterface.2C_._AddRef_and_._Release_definitions_have_been_changed ) > Can please someone enlighten me? Thanks in advance, sorry for being dumb ;-) As said I think it is simply one of those minor bugfix related differences between the 2.4 and 2.6 (and +) series. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
