Overloading means that you have functions with the same name but different parameter (or param. list). You can have different return type for each parameter but you can never have the same parameters. V. ______________________________________________________________

Hi, I have a problem with overloaded functions. I defined these functions: function val_(name: string): string; function val_(name: string): boolean; function val_(name: string): integer; function val_(name: string): double; var res: boolean; begin res := val_(option_variable); end; I get the following error: Error: Incompatible types: got "ShortString" expected "Boolean". So for some reason the compiler is looking at the first function. The mode is objfpc and I turned ansistrings off. I tested by adding the overload modifier but without result. What else could I try or do? Or is overloading only allowed for different parameter lists?
