[fpc-pascal] FieldAddress

[Torsten Bonde Christiansen]

Hi,

What does it take for a class to access a field using FieldAddress(...)?

I have tried with both typeinfo on/off ({M+}), placing the field in 
private/protected/public/published
sections but to no avail.

My simple code is:

TMyObject = class
private
   FRef: TMyObject;
   procedure SetRef(AValue: TMyObject);
public
   property Ref: TMyObject read FRef write SetRef;
end;


then i have tried to get the adress in two ways:

AMyObject.FieldAddress('FRef');   //returns nil
AMyObject.FieldAddress('Ref'); //also returns nil

If i run my code through debugger, the VMT FieldTable is empty 
suggesting no information is
created. This happens in all cases of typeinfo on/off and differenc 
sections...

What can i do to make the fieldadress accessible?

Regards,
Torsten.
