Hello
Typed constants work just like initialized variables. Maybethis is the problem?

Try:
MYINTEGERCONST = 5;
or
MYINTEGERCONST = Integer(5);

Regards,
Michał.

Hello,

I'm just porting some C code to pascal. This code contains constant
structure definitions which use other constants of simple types.

However FPC reports "Error: Illegal expression" when using a constant
within an constant record definition.

program Project1;

type
   TMyRecord = record
     x: Integer;
   end;

const
   MYRECORDCONST2: TMyRecord = (x: 5); //< compiles fine
   MYINTEGERCONST: Integer = 5;        //< defining integer const
   MYRECORDCONST1: TMyRecord = (x: MYINTEGERCONST); //< using constant is
no possible
begin
end.

Is this intended or should I fill in a bug report? If it's intendet, I'm
wondering why?

Regards
Simon Ameis
