Default values are now properly typechecked
* *Old behaviour*: The compiler did not detect default values for
parameters of which the type did not in any way correspond to the
parameter type.
* *New behaviour*: The compiler now properly checks whether the type
of the constant matches the parameter's type when parsing default
values.
* *Reason*: Proper type checking is one of the fundamental
properties of the Pascal language; Delphi compatibility.
* *Remedy*: Add a typecast around default values that now result in
compiler errors, or correct the type of such parameters.
"did not in any way correspond to the parameter type" it does through the overloaded operator, doesn't it?
Also "add a typecast" (despite that would mean the overloaded operator isn't called),
the following
procedure Test(a:TObject=TObject(1));gives
project1.lpr(6,36) Error: Illegal expressioneven though 1 can be typecasted into an TObject.
program project1;
operator := (a:integer) b: TObject;
begin
b:= TObject.Create;
end;
procedure Test(a:TObject=1);
begin
end;
begin
Test;
end.
