Does "Type Helper" only with standard types?
The class itself it compiles without errors.
But when you call, there is an error message.

See link, there the code and the problem is described. ("Illegal qualifier")

Type helpers work well with arrays without bounds:

type
   TVector = array of Single;
   TVectorHelper = Type Helper for TVector
   public
     procedure Add;
   end;

I cannot say if the array with bounds case is a bug or feature. Delphi doesn't support either of them (XE2 tested).

Please report a bug with a simple example that should compile with the error message you get at http://bugs.freepascal.org as I don't see any difference between dynamic and static arrays in relation to type helpers (so probably merely an oversight of mine in the parser ^^).

In that case please write about it also here so that I can update CodeTools - they now work as FPC, i.e. they find helpers for dynamic arrays but not for static ones.

Type helpers now work correctly with static arrays as well :)

Fixed.

I forgot to mention that in my answer, but next time please provide a self contained, complete example that does not depend on the LCL (or other code not distributed with FPC as far as possible) and that can be compiled on the command line.

Codetools support them now as well!

Just an information: I now tested Delphi 10 Seattle and it supports helpers for dynamic arrays but not for static arrays :) It seems people from Embarcadero forgot about them as well :)
