Ambiguous call with [] as TBox #31

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
procedure Test(box: TBox);
begin
  writeln(box);
end;

begin
  Test([1, 2, 3, 4]);
end.

This works fine but adding any overloaded method would result in ambiguous 
call. Since the argument [1, 2, 3, 4] could only be either a TBox or 
TIntegerArray, adding an overloaded method with parameter not being 
TIntegerArray should work fine?

Currently, this is not a problem. Yes, the call is ambiguous, but the compiler 
will pick the method with IntegerArray as parameter. This is expected behavior 
because of of backwards compatibility with Pascal. If you want to call the 
method with the TBox parameter, you would have to explicitly cast to TBox.
