Currently fpc 2.3.1 cannot build lazarus anymore. It fails on lines like MyStream.Write(' ',1);The write method is declared as function Write(const Buffer; Count: Longint): Longint Why isn't passing literal constant to a formal const parameter allowed anymore?
I see this change is intentional, but I don't understand it completely yet.
1. It is passed by value and not by reference.
The compile could decide to pass by reference, couldn't it.
2. You don't know the size of the value.
The caller knows the size, doesn't it. Why do you need to know the size?
3. It is delphi compatible
At last, one reason I understand :-). Thanks, Vincent _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
