Hmm, guess I just have to accept this. ;-) This routine was just for fun anyway..., nothing serious. Ok, after trying to compile some more (hey, you guys invented a lot of new warnings, ;-) thank you), here's my next problem, I can't understand: -- 8< -- snip -- program Bug; { use a structured type used to keep the namings clean } type tLoopParm = record Min, Max, Cur : word; end {tLoopParm}; var One, Two, Three, Four : tLoopParm; begin One.Min := 42; One.Max := 42; for One.Cur := One.Min to One.Max do begin Two.Min := 42; Two.Max := 42; for Two.Cur := Two.Min to Two.Max do // <- line 28 begin Three.Min := 42; Three.Max := 42; for Three.Cur := Three.Min to Three.Max do // <- line 33 begin Four.Min := 42; Four.Max := 42; for Four.Cur := Four.Min to Four.Max do // <- line 38 begin // code end {for Four}; end {for Three}; end {for Two}; end {for One}; end {Bug}. -- -- -- Target OS: Linux for i386 Compiling bug.pas bug.pas(28,30) Error: Illegal assignment to for-loop variable "Cur" bug.pas(33,37) Error: Illegal assignment to for-loop variable "Cur" bug.pas(38,38) Error: Illegal assignment to for-loop variable "Cur" bug.pas(45,10) Fatal: There were 3 errors compiling module, stopping -- 8< -- snip -- This doesn't make sense, does it? As mentioned before, all this code compiled fine with fpc-1.0.10 (Linux, DOS & Windows targets).
