[fpc-devel] Delphi anonymous methods

[Boian Mitov]

Cool :-).
BTW: When you implement it, please consider making it available for attributes!
The Delphi version really sucks in this :-( .
I have not been able to do things like:

[TComponentDialog( 
    procedure( AInstance : TComponent)
    begin
       TMyComponnt( AInstance ).ShowDialog();
    end
]
TMyComponnt = class( TComponent )
public
  procedure ShowDialog();
end;

This could have eliminated a full source file, and replaced it with 3 lines :-( . I really hate the half baked attribute and anonymous methods in Delphi :-( .

With best regards,
Boian Mitov

We'll implement features of Delphi anyway for compatibility. So why not use the implementation of it, provide some nice Pascal-style syntax for it and allow FPC users to usr the feature in non-Delphi modes as well. :)
