Using the record type inside a self-declaration

[440bx]

At least from D7 onwards the compilers throw errors, as does fpc.

Delphi 2 throws an error as well.

Thanks for testing.

Thanks for testing.

You're welcome.

I didn't even know it was possible. From which version?

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. type
2.   TRec = record
3.     FRecs: array of TRec;
4.     FOther: Integer;
5.   end;

That works because it is essentially the same as

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. type
2.   PRec = ^TRec;
3.   TRec = record
4.     FRecs: PRec;
5.     FOther: Integer;
6.   end;
