I'm trying to use this feature, but I'm having some trouble: All of my records contain a parameterless `class function Create: TWhateverRecord; static;`. Now, when I try to contain one within the other, I'm stumbling across this compiler error: Error: Overloaded identifier "CREATE" isn't a function I guess this is because both records now have a `Create` function with the same signature. But how can I resolve that conflict?
You cannot, it is a shortcoming of composed records. There is no way to distinguish between the various methods. Although the message needs improvement.
And one more question: Does `Default(TComposedRecord)` correctly intialize the complete structure?
Basically it does a fillchar(var,sizeOf(TComposedRecord),0), so that should be sufficient. Michael. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [email protected] https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
