Subject: alpha-970510: array problem.
Date: 18 May 1997, 13:43:09


GPC alpha-970510 fails to compile this code:

-----------------------------


program ArrayTest(output);

type
  node = 0..4500;
  A = array[node] of integer;

var
  N1 : A;
  N2 : ^A;


begin
  writeln('OK');
end.

-----------------------------

It barfs on the "var N2: ^A;" declaration.

This used to work with previous releases of GPC.

I can find no paragraph in the spec where it says that this declaration is
valid, but I believe it is. Anyway, it BP likes it, and now
`gpc -fborland-pascal' doesn't :-(


BTW: This is the first bug detected by the automated compiler suite I'm
writing, so I guess this proves the value of having such a thing.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going
to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead.  -- RFC1925.
