Greetings. I have a object that connects to a speech server, festival. In my object, I define a function called close. This must close the socket connection, which is done by the function close. Therefore, I am having a problem, because simply calling close with the sin and sout parameters results in an error because it is calling my objects close function which takes no parameters.
How can I call a function that is not part of my object, but has the same name as one of my object functions? Here is my simple code, for example: function TFestival.Open(host : string; port : integer) : integer; var h : THost; addr : TInetSockAddr; begin h.NameLookup(host); if h.LastError <> 0 then begin Open := 1; Exit; end; addr.family := AF_INET; addr.port := ShortHostToNet(port); addr.addr := HostTonet(longint(h.IPAddress)); sock := Socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); if Not Connect(sock, addr, sin, sout) then begin Open := 2; Exit; end; rewrite(sout); reset(sin); Open := 1; end; procedure TFestival.Close(); begin close(sin); close(sout); Close := 0; end; I realize that I can simply rename my close procedure but I imagine that I will run into similar situations as I continue to use Free Pascal. Thank you for your help, Jeremy _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
