Re: [fpc-pascal] Operator not overloaded
Thank you very much, declaring the operator within the record does indeed solve the issue. Just to be sure in case I might need it some day: Does this mean, if I need e.g. a comparison operator for a specialized TPair, I would declare a record class helper and define the operator there? - Original Message - From: Sven Barth via fpc-pascal To: FPC-Pascal users discussions Sent: Friday, June 24, 2022, 10:43:55 Subject: [fpc-pascal] Operator not overloaded Thomas Kurz via fpc-pascal schrieb am Do., 23.

Global operator overloads need to be available at the time the generic is *declared*, not *specialized*. That is one of the reasons why advanced records were introduced. So you need to declare your operators as part of your record. Regards, Sven ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

I am not a compiler compiler and will not be able to finalize or test a cross-compiler before using it. I believe that we can help you with resolution with FPC if you're interested, it isn't that difficult after all. Building a trunk (main) compiler, rtl and packages is matter of several rather simple commands if you already have your FPC 3.2.2 installation, plus installation of an external package (LLVM). All of it rather feasible. Yes, you may possibly encounter some issues with the current port to this target (aarch64-win64), but I'm sure there are others willing to help with that part as well if you report such issues. Just let me/us know if you want to continue that way, I'm willing to provide more specific directions.

Also assuming you mean the x86_64 version of XP and not the IA64 (Itanium) one then it could run 32-bit software without problems. In contrast to the 32-bit version it was essentially a Windows Server 2003.
