RE: [DUnit-interest] D5: Ambiguous overloaded call to 'CheckEquals'

[Thinus B. <th...@so...>]

Hi,

From the Delphi 6 help file, Del6New.hlp:

[Del6New]
Overload resolution changes

The process by which the Delphi compiler decides which overloaded function
best matches a particular argument list has been updated to support the
following situations that the compiler previously considered ambiguous:

The Delphi 6 compiler can now distinguish between overloaded functions that
contain AnsiString/PChar and WideString/WideChar parameters in the same
parameter position.
[/Del6New]


So from the above I conclude that the Delphi 5 compiler cannot distinguish
between overloaded functions that contain AnsiString/PChar and
WideString/WideChar parameters. Which, in turn, leads me to conclude that
DUnit is broken for Delphi 5.

Have a nice day,

Thinus
