BP (in)compatibility

26 May 2004

      I noticed that the following FPC code (claimed to be BP compatible)
is not accepted by GPC:

function b:string;
begin
  b[1] := ' '
end;

Similarely FPC accepts:

type a = record
           i, j : integer
         end;
function b(i, j: integer) : a;
begin
  b.i := i;
  b.j := j
end;

I do not know if we want to implement that feature, but (assuming it
is really accepted by BP) we should list it as known incompatiblity.
