Flexible arrays in Records

-----------------------------------

Whenever I try to put a flexible array in a record, it tells me "syntax error at 'flexible'". Is there a way to fix this?
This is essentially my code:


type thingy :
     record
          x : flexible array 1 .. 5 of int
     end record

a record's size (memory space) must be known at compile time. Since a flexible array could change that, that is not a valid syntax. You could have a pointer to a flexible array allocated elsewhere though.
