Types and Flexible Arrays

[Degensquared]

I'm having an issue with declaring a flexible array as a part of a type. The compiler throws an error or two at me when I use the following code:

code:

type test_type :     record         test_array : flexible array 1 .. 0 of int % flexible Highlighted -- Syntax error at 'flexible'     end record % end Highlighted -- Extra 'end'

Am I missing something? Is this something that Turing does not allow?

Straight out of Turing's help files on records: Any array contained in a record must have bounds that are known at compile time.

You could have a pointer that points to a flexible array though.
