Hi list,

Trying to start documenting fpXMLXSDExport:
<some other directory>c:\development\fpc\bin\i386-win32\makeskel --disable-private --emit-class-separator --update --package=fcl --input=C:\development\Fpc\Source\packages\fcl-db\src\export\fpxmlxsdexport.pp --output=fpxmlxsdexport.xml
MakeSkel - FPDoc skeleton XML description file generator Version 2.5.1 [2011/11/14]
(c) 2000 - 2003 Areca Systems GmbH / Sebastian Guenther,

Error while documenting: Expected "," or ":" at token "=" in file C:\development\Fpc\Source\packages\fcl-db\src\export\fpxmlxsdexport.pp at line 70 column 24
Done.

Snippet of the code in question:
{ TCustomXMLXSDExporter }
TCustomXMLXSDExporter = class(TCustomFileExporter)

  const
    DefaultDatasetName = 'Table1';  <========== this is where it bombs
    // Name used for the exported table/dataset if no other name can be

found.

  private
    FANode: TDOMNode; //Just a placeholder for a node which can be reused

Am I doing something wrong or is makeskel in error?

(FreePascal fixes_2_6, as of today)

One other thing: looking at the FPC reference guide for constants (Chapter 2.1), I see this declaration:
constant declaration - identifier - = - expression - hintdirectives -;

However, hintdirectives doesn't seem to be explained later on (did a search on it in the PDF).
Hintdirectives returns in 11 Using functions and procedures: 11.1 procedure declaration, 11.2 Function declaration

Should the documentation be updated or is it once again a problem between the chair and the computer?

Thanks,
Reinier

Perhaps the parser does not yet support the "declarations inside classes" feature?

It does not support this.
I am working on it, but I need to refactor a large part of the parser.

Michael.

Ok, thanks,
Reinier
