With keyword

[Toky Olivier Razanakotonarivo]

Hello,

How to use the “WITH” keyword please in DWS? If it’s not implemented, what is the alternative?

Sometimes, it’s difficult to work without it.

Thank you.

with is supported with explicitly named aliases only, below is an exemple taken from the test cases. It is essentially a combination of a “var” and a “begin” sub-block.

with a := 1 do
    PrintLn(a);

with b := "a", d := 3 do begin
    with c := b + "c" do
        PrintLn(c);
    PrintLn(d);
    with c : Integer = d + 1 do
        PrintLn(c);
end;

Thank you but finally, how to write this then in DWS?

//Decls
type 
  MyRec = record
    x, y: Integer;
  end;

var rec: MyRec;

//Usage

with rec do begin
  x := 5;
  y := 20;
end;

Only like this?

rec.x := 5;
rec.y := 20;

So the standard action with the WITH keyword is not supported?
