Well it seems the "side effect" is more popular use-case in FPC and Delphi developers projects than the original intention of "out" then. BTW: I searched the Kylix and Delphi source folders. The "side effect" is used in 99% of all FillChar() cases. So that "side effect" is damn popular. :-) -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
