I just noticed it's possible to do @Byte in FPC. Are these 2 lines even different? It doesn't exactly make sense to take the address of a type identifier so I'm curious what this may mean. var b: Byte; p: PByte; begin p := @Byte(b);
This is a typecast of b from which you take the address. The typecast is superfluous. p:=@b will have the same effect. Michael. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
