Nevertheless I am of the opinion that WITH is evil and should be removed

Or implement a safe "with" in Free Pascal without waiting until it is
enforced by Delphi compatibility...
Ehm. How can "with" ever be safe ?
You are joking, no? It has been discussed on fpc-pascal/fpc-devel several
times.
Erm... I am not joking.
Do you really think I recall every discussion or braindead proposal from
these mailing lists over the last 20 years ?
I appreciate your high esteem of my memory, but alas, age takes it's toll... ;-)
But presumably you mean some construct as
With QMyVeryLongQueyObjectName as Q do
try
// Do things with Q
finally
Q.Close;
end;
?
That is a modification of the current "with".
I assumed you meant to make an unchanged "with" safe.
That said, a construct such as "With QMyVeryLongQueyObjectName as Q do" has my
support...
Michael.
