[fpc-devel] functions within record declarations

[Christopher Cureau]

Hi there!

I've been trying to compile some code that used to work in version 1.0.10 
of the compiler, but now seems to give errors.  In each of the errors 
below, it looks like a function is being put into a record, and the 
compiler doesn't like it.  I have pasted the relevant lines from fs.inc 
below along with the errors that the compiler throws.

Can anyone shed some light onto what has changed between compiler 
versions?

Thanks,
Chris Cureau

code: (line number prefixes...)

103:   file_system_type = record
104:     name       : string[20];
105:      fs_flag    : dword;
106:      read_super : function (sb : P_super_block_t) : P_super_block_t;
107:      next       : ^file_system_type;
108:   end;

error:
