Re: [fpc-devel] BUG REPORT: Fail to compile when using the out keyword instead of var

2023-06-19 Thread Dylan Lamb via fpc-devel
I was smashing my head in the keyboard yesterday trying to figure out what
was wrong. I searched a lot online but hadn't found a solution to my issue.
I've never had to report a problem I faced through a mailing list so I
appreciate the fast response and kind reply. Thank you very much for your
time! 

This is not a bug. You're using mode fpc, in which the "out" keyword is 
not

supported. You have 3 possibilities to activate this:

One additional minor comment to the original e-mail - in general, it's 
better to send sample code as text rather than a screenshot, because the 
text version allows reproducing your situation and proposing alternative 
versions more easily, whereas the screenshot requires retyping your test 
program. Obviously, copying the compiler output as simple text is 
possible as well, but that isn't that important here (it would decrease 
the size of your e-mail, which might still make sense in case of a 
message sent to hundreds of people via the mailing list, but the size 
wasn't that big measured by today's e-mail "standards").

This is not a bug. You're using mode fpc, in which the "out" keyword is not
supported. You have 3 possibilities to activate this:

Use mode objfpc:

{$mode objfpc}

Use mode delphi:

{$mode delphi}

or enable the use of out in mode fpc:

{$modeswitch out}
