Hello,

The docu mentions that pointers as "Supported syntax elements".
But compiling the following program results in "Test.pas(4,5) Error:
Not supported: pointer"
Do you have any suggestions on how to fix or work around this?

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
test;type TString = string;var Name:  TString;var PName:
^TString;begin  WriteLn('Works,');end.
Kind regards, Peter/JAC!

The documentation clearly states:

QuotePointer (as a reference to a class, array, record, pointer of
record, or interface).
There is no mention of the string type.

You mean pointer type. Strings are of course supported. Pointers are
not.

Thanks. So that also applies then for all pointers to other elementary
types.
I was hoping there was an option. For now, I changed the copy to
copy/assign the strings.
