In my opinion also, the semantics should be changed to reflect the actual nature of the construct and behavior.
Agree.
Again, imo, it would be better if someone who was migrating from Delphi, found that their FPC program didn't compile could look in the manual and make the global changes rather than have someone new introducing bugs into their programs because they were confused on the concept.
I fully agree. It is a much better approach to let a programmer change his own program when porting things than having some kind of compatibility mode which is then used for new programs too so that you never get rid of awkward coding hacks.
I also wager it would be at least a wash for the various mailing list moderators fielding questions from Delphi migraters vs. new programmers. At least the Delphi migrators should (hopefully) have an understanding of the concept already. And if they really didn't understand the concept, this would flush out the misconception. - ROW
Agree again. Jürgen Hestermann. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
