This works in delphi mode:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i program
Project1;{$mode delphi} type  TArr = array of Integer; const  //
objfpc would not allow me to use these kind of  // initializers or any
kind of dyn array initializers  // that I am aware of at all. Delphi
mode does!  Foo: TArr = [1,2,3];  Bar: TArr = [1,2,3,4,5]; beginend. 
Do I really need to set the unit to Delphi mode for this to work or is
there also a {$modeswitch xyz} where I can just turn on this one
feature?

I'm now going to answer my own post:

Instead of [] just use () and it works. I think I should read the
release notes of new FPC versions more carefully, until 5 minutes ago
I was 100% convinced it would not be possible in FPC.
