The proposed Get_name only makes sense for logging purposes. Since if you can't resolve the gotten string back to an address, it is pretty useless for other things. So basically all it is good for is log(get_name(x)+' : '+inttostr(x)); like constructs. since this 1) s:=get_name(x); 2) pass s to a different procedure 3) use s to get access to x in the different procedure won't work. >From what I quickly saw while quickreading this discussion, is that the different proponents have different objectives, and don't seem to realize it. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
