Cannot nest anonymous array

Just started playing around with pas2js and got stuck with Multi-
Dimensional Arrays. I get 'Error: Cannot nest anonymous array' with
the following:

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
Var Multi_Array: Array of Array of Array of Integer;
I can bypass with the following code:

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 Type
Multi_Array_Level_02 = record  M_Array_Level_02: Array of
Integer; end; Type Multi_Array_Level_01 = record  M_Array_Level_01:
Array of Multi_Array_Level_02; end; Var Multi_Array: Array of
Multi_Array_Level_01;
I also skimmed through the 'Pas2JS-WebGL demo' to see if there was a
piece of code using Multi-Dimensional Arrays. But I spotted this
comment in 'Mat4.pas'

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 // NOTE:
[][] doesn't typecast to array of syntax so we need this
So is Multi-Dimensional Arrays not supported in pas2js just yet, or is
it my programming skills that needs some adjustment?

It should work. Try the most recent version and if that does not work
file a bug report on Mantis.
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
ma;Var Multi_Array: Array of Array of Array of Integer;beginend.

Nested anonymous array are currently not supported in Pas2JS as the
compiler remarks (Error: Cannot nest anonymous array). You need to
declare each sub array:

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
tdynarr; type  TLongIntArray = array of LongInt;  TLongIntArrayArray =
array of TLongIntArray;  TLongIntArrayArrayArray = array of
TLongIntArrayArray;  TLongIntArrayArrayArrayArray = array of
TLongIntArrayArrayArray; var  arr: TLongIntArrayArrayArrayArray;//
array of array of array of array of LongInt; beginend.

Yes that works, but it reads like a train station in Wales....
