Hello.

Following program:

program a;
{$mode delphi}
type
  generic TGen<T> = class end;
  TSpc = specialize TGen<Integer>;
begin
end.

compiles with FPC 2.4.2, but not with 2.5.1 rev. 17306:

a.pas(4,11) Fatal: Syntax error, "=" expected but "identifier TGEN" found
a.pas(5,21) Error: Identifier not found "specialize"
a.pas(5,21) Error: Error in type definition
a.pas(5,21) Fatal: Syntax error, ";" expected but "identifier TGEN" found

"generic" and "specialize" are not allowed in delphi mode in 2.5.1 but
they are required in 2.4.2.

Is this a conscious change? There is no mention of this on Wiki User
Changes 2.4.4 or User Changes Trunk pages.
