Hello,
please take a look at this small example:
----------------------------------------------
program types;
type
PMyTypeA = ^MyTypeA;
PMyTypeB = ^MyTypeB;
type
MyTypeA = record
foo: integer;
bar: integer;
end;
type
MyTypeB = record
foo: string;
bar: string;
end;
begin
end.
----------------------------------------------
it obviously doesn't compile because there are multple "type" sections
defined and forward types are not properly resolved within the same "type"
section, reference: https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refse16.html
Considering that I often encounter difficulties translating C headers to
Pascal because declared types are most of the time dislocated in the header
source file and splitted in different blocks, I'd like to know if there is
a switch to enable forward type resolution within the same source file at
least, and if not please let me know if it can be considered a feasible
feature request.
Thank You in advance.
Sandro Cumerlato
