No. The sizeof(int64) is the same on all platforms/CPUs. Which is 8 bytes. 64bits*1byte/8bits. What data you fill that 8 bytes with is of no concern to the compiler. I is just bad practice to use it as anything other than whole numbers. QWord for unsigned. Int64 for signed. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
