Does it support new features like generics, helpers, overloads etc…? I have read over the years they’ve been broken also so I just assumed they were a dead part of the compiler kept around for old projects. If they still worked then why introduce “advanced records” which are merely “basic classes”. :) As pointed out it doesn’t make sense that classes and records diverged in the way they did. They are broken, deprecated and essentially dead in Delphi, but in FPC we've always cared for them as well. Overloads and generics are already supported and support for helpers could be easily added. Only major feature missing compared to classes is the support for extensive RTTI. Regards, Sven
