I think this is quite reasonable to expect this to work.
The writeability of constants is IMNSHO just an ugly leftover from
Delphi history,
and should be disabled in _both_ delphi and objfpc modes:
{$IFDEF FPC}{$MODE DELPHI}{$ENDIF}
const x: integer = 1;
begin
x := 3;
end.
Is rejected by Delphi, but compiled by FPC, which is a compatibility
bug in itself.
This depends on a mode switch. Use {$j-} to turn off the ability to
write to typed constants. Maybe it's off by default in your version of
Delphi.
So how about re-submitting the issue as a feature request?
You can try, but I'm afraid it'll stay open for quite a long time if
no one also submits a patch.
