QualityCentral Report 95543: An overloaded routine cannot be assigned to the method reference
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/12/20
Since I bumped into this while qc.embarcadero.com was down, and quality.embarcadero.com is not publicly indexed and requires an account to be able to manually search:
I’m not sure how long qc.embarcadero.com will be up again, so if people can help archiving these entries in the WayBack machine: please indicate how you can help.
Thanks a lot!
I bumped into [Archive.is] QualityCentral Report 110364: Open Interface methods are not assignable to anonymous method variable which is related to [WayBack/Archive.is] QualityCentral Report 95543: An overloaded routine cannot be assigned to the method reference.
The former is now tracked as RSP-13007, but I could not find back the latter (JIRA search keeps insisting it cannot find 95543).
The latter is the actual problem I was having: this is code that does not work:
{ Expected: the test case gets compiled.
Actual: E2010 is issued.
}
procedure foo; overload;
begin
writeln('FAIL')
end;
procedure foo(const c: char); overload;
begin
writeln('PASS')
end;
var f: procedure (const c: char);
type T = reference to procedure (const c: char);
var r: T;
begin
{$apptype console}
f := foo;
// correctly picks the proper version
f('1');
r := foo;
// E2010 Incompatible types: 'T' and 'Procedure'
r('2')
end.
