Hi,

We are using {$Mode Delphi} in the tiOPF project. Three new functions were added to one of the base classes. It compiled without issues under FPC 2.2.3 (and whatever Michael van Canneyt uses).

I tried to compile that code under Delphi 7, after somebody reported the issue under Delphi 2006.

    procedure   DoGetFieldBounds(const AFieldName: String; var
MinValue, MaxValue: Integer; var HasBounds: Boolean); virtual;
overload;
    procedure   DoGetFieldBounds(const AFieldName: String; var
MinValue, MaxValue: Extended; var HasBounds: Boolean); virtual;
overload;
    procedure   DoGetFieldBounds(const AFieldName: String; var
MinValue, MaxValue: TDateTime; var HasBounds: Boolean); virtual;
overload;

The 'virtual' and 'overload' keywords had to be swapped around for it to compile under Delphi.

    procedure   DoGetFieldBounds(.....); overload; virtual;

Maybe the Delphi mode in FPC should check for that as well?

Delphi mode means that delphi code works. Not that code made in it works on Delphi. (since that would make extensions impossible)

Now you'll suspect that I knew fully well why I did the overtype bug ;)
