[fpc-devel] Public modifier: brackets or not?

[Bart]

Hi,

I'm a little confused.

From:
https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refsu81.html

This page gives 2 examples.

Function Second : Real; [Public];
begin
  Second := 1;
end;

and

Function Second : Real; Public name ’second’;
begin
  Second := 1;
end;

In the first, Public is in brackets, in the second it is not.

However, this will compile also:

Function Second : Real; [Public name ’second’];
begin
  Second := 1;
end;

So, what is the correct syntax?
