I just updated my 1.1. compiler and found a bug. It does not like types like

HDC = type longword;
for methods.

For example:

---------------------------------
unit unit1; 

{$mode objfpc}{$H+}

interface

type
  HDC = type longword;
  
  TMyClass = class
    procedure A(DC: HDC);
  end;

implementation

procedure TMyClass.A(DC: HDC);
begin

end;

end.
