[fpc-devel] Type/Record Helper SVN Change (Atn: FPC-Core Members)

[Den]

Hi all to FPC Core,

     I was wondering why the change to have a modeswitch for the 
Type/Record Helper? In Delphi there is no such switch needed.  Doing 
something like:

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

program TestHelper;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

{$R *.res}

uses
   System.SysUtils;

type
   TStringHelper = record helper for String
     function Length: Integer;
   end;

var
   S: string;
begin
   S := 'Test String';
   Writeln(S, ', length: ', S.Length);
   ReadLn;
end.

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

Should work out of the box (this example was taken straight from a 
Developer of XE3 btw).
