2 remarks:
1. It's only for arrays
2. It's for fixed-length arrays
So you can do this in FPC today.
Thirdly, you have objects which can be allocated on the stack, or advanced
records.
Plenty of choice for you.
yes indeed. It’s just interesting because “stackalloc” basically swaps the
memory backend and there’s a precedent for such a thing happening and in a
very popular language. The hacker in me wants to play around with that idea in
FPC to see what emerges.
If management operators stick around there’s lots of potential to make advanced
records a strong alternative. Best feature added to FPC is a while IMO so
hopefully they survive the drama. :)
People have come and went. But the features have always remained.
They may receive more or less TLC of course.
Personally, I don't understand the obsession with language features.
If anything, I would make the language more simple.
But this is just me swimming against the current.
Michael.
