Plse implement array indexes also like [x, y] iso [x][y]

[Dany]

Please implement array indexes also like [x, y] iso [x][y], both in multidimensional array declarations and in the usage of the arrays.

So,

Code: Select all

var MyArray : array[5][10] of byte;
...
MyArray[2][3] := 20;

could become:

Code: Select all

var MyArray : array[5, 10] of byte;
...
MyArray[2, 3] := 20;

I did not now the PRO Pascal compiler was unable to handle that syntax (which is standard Pascal by the way...).

Apparently I never used multidimensional arrays before in one of my projects or units...

Thanks in advance, and keep up the good work!

Hello Dany,

You are definitely right. Pascal standard allows this kind of syntax, and we should be going towards the standard as closest as we can get in the embedded world, but still keeping the solutions that make more sense in the world of microcontrollers (without making unnecessary overheads, just in order to implement standards meant to be carried out on a PC).

I have reported your suggestion to our developers. I will inform you of their response.

Best regards,
Aleksandar
