Is this a bug (I'm using 2.4.0, but I've tested it with a 2.5.1 from end of August as well)? Or is it not possible to use such an overload (which would be a pity...)?
I've searched Mantis a bit and stumpled upon this bug report: http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=13473
Jonas writes in the comments: ==== quote begin ==== > It is not possible to overload operators involving ordinal types Well, operators involving only combinations of ordinals, enums and strings. ==== quote end ==== Is this the case for sets as well? The following are the cases that I'd like to overload: SomeSet := SomeLongInt (converting a C-style flags int to a set) SomeLongInt := SomeSet (converting a set to a C-style flags int) SomeString := SomeSet (for writing a set to console) Regards, Sven _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
