I still find "nil->Pointer->dynarray->UCS4String" the most hilarious "weight 1" autoconversion (see 0031215, which is also an overload bug). -- Regards, Martok ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

They are not actually used anywhere in the FPC codebase. More broadly I think the bigger problem is FPC's internal over-eagerness to implicitly cast things to other things... for example, if you have a type with an ":=" operator overload (or as Delphi calls it, an "Implicit" operator overload) from both "Pointer" and "TObject", FPC will always pick the "Pointer" one even if given an explicit TObject variable.

[fpc-devel] Compiler picks wrong overload
Is someone working on these two issues? https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=35580 https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=35576 Lazarus is not usable with fpc trunk atm.
