I was not arguing the point that those changes should not have been made. I was simply stating that other projects code was broken due to behaviour changes made in FPC. This was my counter argument to Vincent's reply that it would break existing code. If external projects are still being maintained, they should keep up with the latest FPC. I do it with fpGUI, Martin does it with MSEide+MSEgui and Lazarus does it, etc... So I don't see a problem if FPC made $J- the default behaviour in FPC mode delphi. At least FPC is then Delphi compatible - which is one of FPC's goals I believe. And as Nino pointed out, even the old Delphi 5 doesn't allow writeable typed constants by default. What should be the default behaviour in mode objfpc? Well that I am not sure about.
