Yes, but it’s a pointer so we need to dereference with ^.
A[0]^.X := 1;
That’s the one difference which we can’t resolve now. Basically we would need a
“var” result introduced into the language. C++ has that feature so maybe it’s
not crazy to implement in Pascal.
int& getter() {
return i;
}
function getInt: integer; var;
begin
result := i;
end;
