Using the Overload function

[JohnGB]

According to the Help file Overload is supported - see extract from help below:

function function_name([var] [const] ParamName : [^]type; [var] [const] ParamName2, ParamName3 : [^]type) : [^]type; [ilevel 0x123;] [overload;] [forward;]

However, if I declare:

function BCDinc(BDCVal: byte):byte; Overload;

I get a syntax error on my declare line "Error: expected 'end' but 'overload' found".

As far as I can see this is a valid declaration.

I am using the latest version of the MikroPascal compiler.

Hi,

Unfortunately, "Overload" is not supported in mikroPascal compiler.

In compiler Help file we note like that,
because it is the generalized representation of the program organization in Pascal programming language.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to state specifically in the help file that Overloading is not supported?

Hi,

You're right, it should be mentioned in Help file.

I notified our software developers and it will be corrected as soon as possible.

Best regards,
