I’m trying to build a project on Windows and I’m getting the error mentioned in the subject. It appears to be from a nested function in a generic class which is using the “result” keyword to assign the value.

Is this a bug or do I need to enable some extra compiler flag on Windows?

Here’s the compiler I’m using.

Free Pascal Compiler version 3.3.1 [2023/02/24] for i386

It is a bug. (as far as I can tell)

From that report:

Operating system: Linux, AlmaLinux 9.1, X86_64
Processor architecture: X86_64, 64 bit
Compiler version: 3.3.1-12327-gb997e413
Device: Computer

Yeah that’s the same one, thanks. Doesn’t happen on macOS though which is interesting and it doesn’t happen in all instances.
