I really wonder what people would say about a foreach which iterates through arrays in random order. I guess 90 per cent of the programs break though it would be completely legal :) It makes some use for containers like maps however those aren't native types in pascal. > box-type 0% (something like variant, but simpler, better and less memory consuming) > > and some other things which are mostly done, but my best guess is that will be pascal-off or too- > heretic-like and used by me only. History has shown that using incompatible solutions isn't that good. Simply because people prefer to compile their sources with different compilers. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
