Hello,

The following code:

var
  s1, s2: string;
  v1, v2: array of byte;
begin
  writeln('testing strings');
  s1 := 'test';
  s2 := copy(s1, 2, 10);
  writeln('s2: "', s2, '" which length is ', length(s2));
  s2 := copy(s1, 10, 10);
  writeln('s2: "', s2, '" which length is ', length(s2));
  writeln('now testing dynamic array');
  setlength(v1, 5);
  v2 := copy(v1, 2, 10);
  writeln('length is: ', length(v2));
  v2 := copy(v1, 6, 10);         //  <<-- here
  writeln('length is: ', length(v2));
end.

will raise an exception, range check error iirc, trying to copy an array beyond the number of its items. Just to know if this was designed or I should report to mantis.

Thanks.
