Summary: parsing static class function (Delphi for .NET syntax)

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I have a static class function like:

type
  TProject = class(TPersistent)
    { .. some declarations .. }
    public
      class function IsProjectFile(Filename:
TFileName): Boolean; static;
    { .. some declarations .. }
  end;


It causes the following error:
One of symbols "," or ":" expected while parsing unit
ProjectData.pas, continuing...

This error makes this file not handled for documentation.

Best regards,
Dietmar

As I don't have any documentation available for Delphi for
.NET, I'll leave fixing this bug for someone who works with
Delphi for .NET.

Draft: probably command-line option like --delphi-net will
have to be introduced, "static" added to standard directives
list in tokenizer, and then when parsing units and
--delphi-net was specified, pasdoc should add "static;" to
procedure declaration.

This way without --delphi-net pasdoc still parses "static"
just as a variable name, so parsing of non-.NET pascal code
is not broken.

Obviously I was been misguided through German documentation
of Delphi 2005/2006.
There is some difference betreen "class methods" and "class
static methods", it seems to have been implemented with
.NET-things (but I work with Win32).
I erased "static" keyword and my code works well...

Others may have this problem in future.
Thanks.

Which compiler understands this "static" directive ? And
what it does ?

I just tested with Kylix 3, FPC 2.0.2 (in delphi and objfpc
mode) and they all refuse to compile such code. They expect
that "static" is a variable name (so it must be followed by
":" or "," like pasdoc says).

Is it some Delphi for .NET extension ?
