324 :: How to get the low/high of an object field?

• gradha (orginal) [2013-12-19T11:32:32+01:00] view original

  I can use low or high on actual variables, but can this be done on objects directly?

  
  var aaa: TTimeInfo
  echo high(aaa.year) # -> ok
  echo high(TTimeInfo.year) # -> Error: undeclared identifier: 'year'
  Run

  Err..what is it supposed to return? It's a type so no value assigned..

  I expected both calls to compile and return the same value, since the value returned by high(aaa.year) comes from its type definition.

  Looks trivial to implement, so it's simply an unimplemented feature. You might even call it a bug.

  Ok, tracking then at https://github.com/Araq/Nimrod/issues/766.
