[fpc-devel] Issue with class vars

[Birger Jansen]

Hi,

I encountered a possible bug (or at least a compiler error that should be clearified) when using class vars in  FPC 2.4.3:

This class definition will compile:

  TTest = class(TObject)
  private
    FMyField: string;
    class var MyClassVar: Integer;
  published
    property MyProperty: string read FMyField write FMyField;
  end; 

When swapping the rows with class var and FMyField it becomes this:

  TTest = class(TObject)
  private
    class var MyClassVar: Integer;
    FMyField: string;
  published
    property MyProperty: string read FMyField write FMyField;
  end;

This breaks the code, but on a strange line: the line property MyProperty (...) with Error: Illegal symbol for property access.

Shall I report a bug for this?

Kind regards,
  Birger Jansen
