[fpc-pascal]How to call a variable of a procedural type?

[Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas]

Hi,

There are two different syntax available:

{$mode FPC}
begin
  fun:=@myfunction;
  a:=fun(); //@1
  writeln(fun); //@2
end.

{$mode TP}
begin
  fun:=myfunction;
  a:=fun; //@1
  writeln(fun); //@2
end.

You can see that the assignement instruction is different in FPC (native mode) 
and TP compatibility mode. In @1 there is another difference, because some 
ambiguity that is not at @2.

Online docs explainig this:
