Hi,

I'm using Lazarus (at moment three version of Lazarus, for test) and
FPC from SVN, I have an issue with specialization (in a GLScene unit).

FPC svn:
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/tags/release_2_6_0/

Lazarus:
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/branches/release_0_9_30_4/
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk/
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/branches/fixes_0_9_30/

So, with Lazaru 0.9.31 (trunk) no problems, all works very well.
Instead, Lazarus 0.9.30.3 or 0.9.30.4RC2 can't compile this code on GLScene:

{$IFDEF GLS_SERVICE_CONTEXT}
  TServiceContextTaskList = {$IFDEF GLS_GENERIC_PREFIX} specialize {$ENDIF}
    GThreadList < TServiceContextTask > ;
{$ENDIF GLS_SERVICE_CONTEXT}

I read that FPC 2.6.0 doesn't need anymore "specialize" keyword, so
removing it it can compile, but when I use "code completion"
(ctrl+space) in my code I get this error;

Reassuming:

With "specialize", both 0.9.30.3 or 0.9.30.4RC2 don't compile, but
ctrl+space works
Without "specialize", both 0.9.30.3 or 0.9.30.4RC2 compile, but
ctrl+space doesn't work.

With or without "specialize" 0.9.31 compile and ctrl+space works.


Thank you,
