Hi List.

When I use class auto-completion in Lazarus abstract methods are automatically generated in the implementation section and I believe this is a bug. Isn't the whole point of abstract methods to force implementation in descending classes and such abstractions should not be implemented in the base class.

Or is there some way of controlling this with options in Lazarus.

using:
Lazarus 0.9.29 r24627M FPC 2.4.0 x86_64-linux-gtk 2 (beta)

Kind regards,
Torsten Bonde Christiansen.

I just tested. It does not add. Do you have an example?

Got another question related to this - in a descendant class in redeclare (if that is the word for it) the methods naturally with the keyword 'override' for all.

Then using class completion here all created implemenations automatically creates the line "inherited <methodname>" which is not legal Free Pascal syntax, at least it give me a compile time error.

Is this not a bug then - i will assume it's not the intent of Lazarus to create autocompletion code that does not compile?

Kind regards,

It creates "inherited methodname(params);".

It is not legal to call abstract methods, but the class completion does not check this yet. There is already a feature request for that.

Good guess.
