Is this a feature, bug or undocumented behaviour?
This is a feature and absolutely by design.
Afair, this was allowed back in Delphi7 (which is where i copied some of
my old code from), but i'm not sure whether it was documented.
At least the current RTL documentation on SetLength does not include
other variants than the one with just a single length specifier.
https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/system/setlength.html
While it's not explicitly mentioned it's at least used in one f the
examples for dynamic arrays in the language guide:
https://freepascal.org/docs-html/current/ref/refse14.html#QQ2-38-57
Maybe this can indeed be clarified a bit.
Indeed. Please enter a bugreport so I do not forget it.
Done: https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33759
Thank you. With examples and all, I couldn't wish for more... :)
Michael.
