Ah, yes, only classes and interfaces can be used for published fields. For
properties anything is allowed.
However, what makes the whole thing unuseable is that with {$M-} the compiler
doesn't accept "published". So, without using macros, the same source code
can not be compiled with both {$M+} and {$M-}. That is really clumsy. With
{$M-} "published" (or some other visibility specifier) should be equal to
"public".
Of course not.
$M controls the inclusion of RTTI, i.e. it allows or disallows the use of the
published section.
No more, no less.
It has no impact on the other visibilities whatsoever.
And that will not change, if only for Delphi compatibility.
If this is not acceptable, then you will need to wait for the extended RTTI or use fcl-passrc
to solve your need.
