Hello together!
I've installed FPC 2.4.2 and after reading the page about the changes
since 2.4.0, I've compiled Lazarus and noticed a warning in imglist.pp
regarding a Equals method (already reported). Now I remembered that
http://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_2.4.2#TObject_class_declaration
mentions that FPC warns in mode delphi, but generates an error in mode
objfpc. So I looked at the top of the unit, but did found "{$mode objfpc}".
Puzzled, I wrote the following test program:
==== source begin ====
program tobjectmethods;
{$mode objfpc}
type
TTestObject = class
public
function ToString: String;
function Equals(aObject: TObject): Boolean;
end;
function TTestObject.ToString: String;
begin
Result := 'FooBar';
end;
function TTestObject.Equals(aObject: TObject): Boolean;
begin
Result := aObject.ToString = Self.ToString;
end;
begin
end.
==== source end ====
Compiling it with FPC 2.4.2 (and 2.5.1 as well) results only in warnings
regarding the methods Equals and ToString and not errors as expected
after reading the wiki.
So who is right?
a) the wiki (thus there is a bug in FPC - very bad, because 2.4.2 is
already released)
b) the compiler (thus the wiki is wrong)
Regards,
Sven
