4. The syntax that was introduced by Borland is not very pascalish in my
opinion. So I'd like to change the syntax for mode ObjFPC a bit (sadly
this won't simplify the parser anymore because of the Delphi
compatibility).
Delphi syntax:
TypeIdentifier = class|record helper(ParentHelper) for ExtendedType
Proposed FPC syntax:
TypeIdentifier = helper(ParentHelper) for class|record ExtendedType
What do you think? Maybe also the "class|record" part can be left out,
because this part is not saved in the objectdef and can be determined by
the compiler automatically.
I always think that if there is no need to create an incompatibility -
better to not create it.
For me it's one of the "implementor decides" cases :)
Hehe *evil laughter*
Fun aside...
As you are one of the Devs who see a clean Object Pascal as a good thing
to go for (I do as well), what syntax would you choose if you'd be the
one to implement helper types (independant from Borland's implementation
and my suggestion)?
