I remember I heard about a mode switch that requires "type groups”
(what are these called btw?) to use a . and be prefixed. For example:
type
TGLType = (GL_FLOAT, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE);
TGLType.GL_FLOAT would be the full name (note GL_FLOAT already is
declared so I want the type to be explicitly TGLType.GL_FLOAT in all
cases). I need to make some wrappers around OpenGL types and I thought
this would be a nice way to do it instead of declaring a bunch of
constants with prefixes but I just can’t remember how to handle that
dot syntax (maybe it’s in the trunk under development). Thanks.
Try
{$SCOPEDENUMS ON}
see
https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/current/prog/progsu70.html#x77-760001.2.70
Maybe a bit of that documentation can be added to the enumerations
section of the language reference guide as well? After all the
functionality itself is part of the language and one might not know that
that this feature a) exists and b) that it needs a directive to be enabled.
Absolutely right, and I had already added this to my todo list :)
Michael.
