I found a restriction in properties which is a little disappointing. I get
there’s probably some objective of safety but Pascal is a direct memory access
language so I don’t understand why properties have this unique restriction when
I could do the same thing using functions (pointers can’t be dereferenced in
properties either). Shouldn’t I as the programmer get to decide whether the
property is safe or not based upon when I call it?
type
TB = class
x: integer;
end;
type
TA = class
private
b: TB;
public
property x: integer read b.x; // ERROR: Must be a record/object type
end;
Regards,
Ryan Joseph
