Keywords are all supported modifiers. "[" <MODIFIER> [,<MODIFIER>[,...]] "]" And this can be mixed and matched with non-bracketed modifiers, so the following is valid: === code begin === procedure Bla; cdecl; [public, overload]; iocheck; begin end; === code end === > > If it is correct that FPC's modifier was never documented and is > hardly used, perhaps a $modeswitch procmodifierbrackets can be > added? It is at least not totally undocumented: https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/current/ref/refsu81.html#x199-22100014.10.12 It's a feature that FPC supports and thus there are probably users out there that use it no matter whether it's in Delphi mode or not.
