PAS2JS: Error: Not supported: pointer for Name: ^TString;

[peter.dell]

Hello,

The docu mentions that pointers as "Supported syntax elements".
But compiling the following program results in "Test.pas(4,5) Error: Not supported: pointer"
Do you have any suggestions on how to fix or work around this?

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. program test;
2. type TString = string;
3. var Name:  TString;
4. var PName: ^TString;
5. begin
6.   WriteLn('Works,');
7. end.

Kind regards, Peter/JAC!

The documentation clearly states:

Pointer (as a reference to a class, array, record, pointer of record, or interface).

There is no mention of the string type.

You mean pointer type. Strings are of course supported. Pointers are not.

Thanks. So that also applies then for all pointers to other elementary types.
I was hoping there was an option. For now, I changed the copy to copy/assign the strings.
