Jonas, Regarding bug #22860 on the inability to define enumeration members using expressions containing previously defined members of the same type, the current fix does not provide a complete solution.
The current fix won’t allow for valid declarations such as TYPE TMyEnum = (meA, meB = 1 + meA) and TYPE TMyEnum = (meA, meB = meA xor meA). Forbidding all of those enumeration-related overloads, however, will undo much of what the relaxation patch was intended for. The compiler should expect an integer-typed constant expression after ‘=’, with a weakened type checking that takes as Ord(x) each enumeration member x in the expression, where x must belong to the enumeration type being declared, and must appear before the member it’s used to define. Since this weakening happens only within enumeration definitions, I think it should be treated specifically. -- Best regards, JC Chu _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
