[fpc-devel] Multiple type sections - Far forward type declarations [feasible feature request?]
Hello, please take a look at this small example: -- program types; type PMyTypeA = ^MyTypeA; PMyTypeB = ^MyTypeB; type MyTypeA = record foo: integer; bar: integer; end; type MyTypeB = record foo: string; bar: string; end; begin end. -- it obviously doesn't compile because there are multple "type" sections defined and forward types are not properly resolved within the same "type" section, reference: https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refse16.html Considering that I often encounter difficulties translating C headers to Pascal because declared types are most of the time dislocated in the header source file and splitted in different blocks, I'd like to know if there is a switch to enable forward type resolution within the same source file at least, and if not please let me know if it can be considered a feasible feature request. Thank You in advance. Sandro Cumerlato ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

For me (Haswell CPU) this works better.
