:-) That the exact problem I have and the reason for this message thread.
In the due, I had to create a local work-around due to the fact that FPC
developers are not willing to fix/change the FPC FillChar() procedure.
I created a local dcpFillChar() which uses a out parameter. Inside the
implementation of dcpFillChar() I enabled {$HINTS OFF}, and then called
FPC's FillChar().
So for all structure that I do initialize, I have to use dcpFillChar().
If I forgot to initialize a typed structure before I use it, FPC will
still give me the Hint output. At which point I can find the location of
the offending code, and insert my call to dcpFillChar().
So I have a solution, but I consider it more a work-around that a 100%
solution. :-( Either way, my code is working now and is hint free.
Important thing is that if a Hint does pop up, I only need to inspect it
once and solve the problem. The FPC will not complain about that code again.
