D.3 Delphi mode
This mode is selected by the $MODE DELPHI switch. It tries to emulate, as closely as possible, the
behavior of Delphi 4 till Delphi 7. On the command line, this mode is selected by the -Mdelpih
switch.
1. You cannot use the address operator to assign procedural variables.
2. A forward declaration does not have to be repeated exactly the same by the implementation
of a function/procedure. In particular, you can omit the parameters when implementing the
function or procedure.
3. Ansistrings are default, this means that $MODE DELPHI implies an implicit {$H ON}.
4. Overloading of functions is not allowed.
5. Inline code is allowed: There is no need to enable it with the {$INLINE} directive.
6. Nested comments are not allowed.
7. The Objpas unit is loaded right after the system unit. One of the consequences of this is that
the type Integer is redefined as Longint.
8. Parameters in class methods can have the same names as class properties (although it is bad
programming practice).
