Delphi RAD Studio class completion issue












0















I can't invoke class completion (via Ctrl + Shift + C) using Embarcadero RAD Studio XE6, if I have following class structure. Program works fine, but the IDE causes the following error. If I want to use it, I must comment DescriptionArray, which is somewhat annoying.



Therefore I would like to know, if anyone knows, where is the problem, or what I'm doing wrong.



GT_Class = class
type
TCustomEnum = (ceValue1, ceValue2, ceValue3, ceValue4);
TCustomSet = set of TCustomEnum;

const
DescriptionArray : array[TCustomEnum] of string = ('Description1', 'Description2', 'Description3', 'Description4');
end;

  • I think it is because there is nothing to complete in your class in the first place.

    I can reproduce the error in XE6 but not in Berlin. Putting a visibility infront of the const though removed the error when invoking class completion.

  • What do you expect to happen when you invoke class completion for this class?

  • This code snippet works just fine for me in Seattle. Looks like a bug in the IDE that has since been resolved.

    @StefanGlienke: Found it: "If a member's declaration appears without its own visibility specifier, the member has the same visibility as the one that precedes it. Members at the beginning of a class declaration that do not have a specified visibility are by default published, provided the class is compiled in the {$M+} state or is derived from a class compiled in the {$M+} state; otherwise, such members are public". So indeed, if inherited from TObject, it is public. If inherited from TPersistent (which is compiled with $M+), it is published.

Solved by Stefan Glienke in comment. Actually it's a bug in Delphi XE6 and in other versions it has been resolved. You need to define visibility, public in this case, even if it shouldn't be needed.



GT_Class = class
public
type
TCustomEnum = (ceValue1, ceValue2, ceValue3, ceValue4);
TCustomSet = set of TCustomEnum;

const
DescriptionArray : array[TCustomEnum] of string = ('Description1', 'Description2', 'Description3', 'Description4');
end;
