I reported it here: https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=36065
James >Actually, the original code used two VARs, not typed CONST. One VAR was >initialized and one was not. I think this is a bug and should be fixed. >As Jonas already pointed out: >"var i : longint = 0;" is internally handled using the same code path as >"const i : longint = 0", and typed constants cannot be used as counter >variables. This is indeed probably a bug. >---- On Wed, 11 Sep 2019 12:40:57 -0400 <scoxb...@shaw.ca ><mailto:scoxb...@shaw.ca> > wrote ---- >Yes, off topic. >The initial poster's code had the loop variable declared as an initialized >constant.
