[SOLVED] Is there a $modeswitch to enable initialized variables in {$mode tp} ?

[Hartmut]

I want to use an initialized array variable in {$mode tp} like:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. {$mode tp}
2. var a: array of integer = nil;

This is not allowed (FPC 3.2.0). But for the most features of {$mode delphi} or {$mode objfpc} there is a {$modeswitch xyz} directive to enable it. In https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/prog/progsu105.html I didn't find it. Does it not exist?

Thanks in advance.

mode tp doesn't know about dynamic arrays. Use either mode delphi or mode objfpc (syntax differs)

[Hartmut]

But this compiles (FPC 3.0.4):

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. {$mode tp}
2. var a: array of integer;
3.     i: integer;
4. begin
5.   SetLength(a, 10);
6.   for i:=0 to High(a)-1 do  a[i]:=i;
7. end.

No, there is no modeswitch for this functionality.

This is sad news (but that's not your fault ;-). Thanks for your help, Jonas.
