I thought (famous last words), checking the typesyms of the tobjectdef would be enough but who knows what else will bit :) ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

I agree and it should be fixed probably. As I wrote in my initial answer to Mattias, I would also forbid it. (despite the temptation to use it for shortening class names in the implementation, I think it will be more confusing than helpful in the end) But since Delphi allows it, we must continue to allow it in Delphi mode...
