<p>someone wrote about a better performance using "with". is that true? even with a simple pointer as in:</p>
<p>with ptr^ do</p>
<p>begin</p>
<p>prop1 := ...</p>
<p>prop2 := ...</p>
<p>end;</p>
<p>which should be faster then</p>
<p>ptr^.prop1 := ...</p>
<p>ptr^.prop1 := ...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>others wrote it is just usefull to save writing time ...</p>

Why does Free Pascal not invent a safe "with" similar as the "with" of MSElang?</blockquote>
The primary question is of course if there is a need for a new construct at all. I don't know MSELang, but many new languages try to add new baroque constructs in a desperate attempt to draw users. I always found that doubtful.</blockquote>
<pre>I replied this morning about TI pascal (ca.1979), but for some reason I
don't see it in the list.
Anyway
