Hi all,

I want to define a constant record, but the record contains an array. Is that possible? I've tried the code below and it doesn't work.

Compiler message: Fatal: Syntax error, "NIL" expected but "identifier TESTATTRIBUTES" found on the last line.

type
  TAllowAttribute= record
                    AttributeName: string;
                    AllowContent: string; //regex
                  end;
  TAllowAttributes= array of TAllowAttribute;
  TAllowTag= record
              TagName: string;
              AllowContent: string; //regex
              AllowAttributes: array of TAllowAttribute;
            end;
  TAllowTags = array of TAllowTag;
const
  testattributes : array[0..0] of TAllowAttribute =
       ((attributename:'style'; allowcontent:'.*'));
  testtags : TAllowTag =
       (tagname:'jojo'; allowcontent:'test'; AllowAttributes: testattributes);

More specifically, a dynamic array.

Is that possible?

Only with static arrays.

.. or with empty dyn array.

If you fill the dyn array field with "NIL" it will be accepted in both FPC and Delphi.
