What to do with the generics syntax? FPC do this so:
generic TFPGList<T> = class(TFPSList)
type public
TCompareFunc = function(const Item1, Item2: T): Integer;
var protected
FOnCompare: TCompareFunc;
function ItemPtrCompare(Item1, Item2: Pointer): Integer;
public
constructor Create;
end;
even in this example, the standalone "public" ends the type ?
while Delphi do so:
TSomeClass = class
public
type
TCompareFunc = function(const Item1, Item2: T): Integer;
protected
var
FOnCompare: TCompareFunc;
Don't know which one is best. but IMHO there are 3 ways that could make
sense:
1) type, const, ... are nested inside the visibility
They end with the visibility => same as they end with the end of an
interface section...
2) visibility sections are nested inside type, const
honestly, not a good idea
3) combined keywords (IIRC harder to implement if the parser may have to
look ahead)
then inside a class "var" can not stand alone, but only iof followed by
a visibilty modifier....
