Hello,

I read the documentation on operator precedence:
https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refch12.html

But I could not find any mention of the derefence operator ^.

How does it fit within the order given in the link above?

I also wonder how operators are determined.

For example
Parent.AnotherParent.Items[2]
would be one operand in an expression such as:

Parent.AnotherParent.Items[2] + 10

But what is the grammar/rules for determining what tokens belong to a complex operand, such as "Parent.AnotherParent.Items[2]"?

Best regards,
Maël Hörz

As was explained to you in
https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,48911.0.html, the dereferencing a pointer (by using ^) isn't an operator.

As I explained there, it *can* be considered an operator, even in the documentation.
But yes, the discussion continues in the forum.
