Value parameters won't compile?

[deathshadow]

I thought I had them working in FPC before... tried to do it in one of my programs and it's a no-go; so I went right to the horses mouth.

http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/...2-14200011.4.1

Their example code

program testp;  
  
Const  
  MyConst = 20;  
  
Procedure MyRealFunc(I : Integer = MyConst);  
  
begin  
  Writeln('Function received : ',I);  
end;  
  
begin  
  MyRealFunc;  
end.

Will NOT compile here in 2.4.4 -- Win 7 x64 in either the x64 or x86 versions of the compiler.

test.pas(6,34) Fatal: Syntax error, ")" expected but "=" found

I really don't want to have to write two versions of the same function on this.
