I've (locally, not yet in svn) implemented support for blocks in FPC (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocks_(C_language_extension) ).
I've now committed the initial implementation in the blocks branch on
svn. As discussed on the fpc-devel list, the syntax has been changed to:
type
NSArrayEnumeratorBlock = reference to procedure (obj: id; idx:
NSUInteger; var stop: boolean); cdecl;
The reason is that Delphi already introduced the "reference to" syntax
for anonymous functions in Pascal. The extra "cdecl;" indicates that
it's the C-variant of an anonymous function (i.e., a "block").
Apart from supporting global routines, the current implementation also
already supports assigning the address of a method of a Pascal
class/object to a block variable (or passing it to a block parameter).
Nested functions/procedures are not yet supported.
