Hi

The Report says that ABSTRACT and EXTENSIBLE types
are extensible. Does this mean that LIMITED types are not?

The code:

TYPE
  A* = POINTER TO LIMITED RECORD END;
  B* = POINTER TO LIMITED RECORD (A) END;

compiles with the Oms compiler and is rejected by the Gardens Point
compiler.


Is the Report ambiguous, or is this a compiler bug?

Cheers

Robert
