In my case the enum has near 600 elements. TMyEnum = (me1, me2...); The set though would never be used to contain more than 256. TMySet = set of TMyEnum; Is it not viable to modify the compiler to compile the code and raise an exception if I try to add more than 256 elements to the set ? _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
