Hi,

is there a way how to initialize record member of pointer type (other than PChar) in the following example:

type
  TMyRec=record
    a: PByte; // if I change PByte to PAnsiChar then it works
  end;

const
  MyConst: TMyRec = (a: 'abcd'); // I want to a points to static memory where 'abcd' is stored

I would like to initialize a to be pointer to another known constant or directly to supplied string constant.

For example something like:

const
  MyConst1='abcd';
  MyConst2=TMyRec = (a: @MyConst1);

Untyped constants don't have an address you can take. You need to use a typed constant:

=== code begin ===

const
  MyConst1: Byte = 123;
  MyConst2: TMyRec = (a: @MyConst1);

=== code end ===

Regards,
Sven
