array indexes

13 Oct 2001

      Hello,
I would like to know what is the reason why GPC complains about
type mismatch compiling lines like below:
.......
var a:array[0..10] of integer;

function at(const index:integer):integer;
begin
at:=a[index];
end;
.......
It seems to me, that there is a too rigid type checking in this matter.
Why are constants not allowed here ?

Regards,
