[fpc-pascal] Enumeration type: FreePascal Vs. Delphi

[gmartinez at burdjia.com]

Hello everybody,

A project of mine was forked and adapted to Delphi by a programmer.  Now we're
working to join both branches.

He did change the enumerations, he did use "=" instead of ":=" in assignments.
 I've read FPC's documentation (Reference guide - 3.1.1 Ordinal types -
Enumeration types) and it says that the correct way is to use ":=", but I did
test using "=" and FPC didn't failed.

To illustrate it:

The FPC way:

(...)
    ALLEGRO_PRIM_ATTR = (
      ALLEGRO_PRIM_ATTR_NONE := 0,
      ALLEGRO_PRIM_POSITION := 1,
      (...)
    );
(...)

The Delphi way:

(...)
    ALLEGRO_PRIM_ATTR = (
      ALLEGRO_PRIM_ATTR_NONE = 0,
      ALLEGRO_PRIM_POSITION = 1,
      (...)
    );
(...)

I'm not sure if Delphi fails when using ":=" (he also remove all "INLINE"
modifiers, but I'm pretty sure that Delphi can deal with them correctly) but
I'm wondering, is "=" correct in FPC or should I use ":="?

Thanks,
