Hi all, I have started debugging 0031215, and discovered something slightly unrelated, but odd. I hope someone can clear that up. While testing, I found out that the following compiles, and becomes a call to fpc_dynarray_assign:
var arr: array of byte; begin arr:= Pointer(42); end. This eventually happens because of the conversion case arraydef<=pointerdef in defcmp.pas:1151, where a comment says: "nil and voidpointers are compatible with dyn. arrays". This comment was there since the very first SVN import. My question: why *are* voidpointers assignment compatible to dynarrays? It does seem to be Delphi compatible, but I couldn't find any mention in either documentation that this is possible - only the reserved/constant "nil" is compatible, and handled elsewhere. -- Regards, Martok _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
