You can always report them under 1.0.6, most times the bug is also present in that release

Is there a preferred place to submit compiler bug reports? The bug tracking page on the FPC site doesn't seem to include 1.0.7.

I've developed workarounds for the problems I've found... but I thought it might be useful to post them somewhere.

Thanks. On second thought, I'm not sure if the problem I'm seeing is a bug or a compiler implementation issue. The Delphi compiler resolves call references to a declared function type and variable such as:

Type
  TickCallFunc = function:Int64;
SomeClass = Class
  FTicks:TickCallFunc;
end;
;
Procedure LocalProc;
  Var LocalVar:Int64;
  Begin
    LocalVar:=FTicks;

In FPC, the compiler quits at the assignment with a type incompatibility between TickCallFunc and int64. Does FPC support this syntax?

-Tom

Procedure LocalProc; Var LocalVar:Int64; Begin LocalVar:=FTicks;

Sorry... just figured it out: LocalVar:=FTicks(); works!

Yes, in Delphi mode it allows such ambigious statements. In objfpc mode you have to write unambigious. That means, you dont want the variable FTicks, you want to call the function. So, you have to write

     LocalVar:=FTicks();
