I just noticed this by accident and I don't understand. Why does " x := @r; " compile? I would expect it to fail like the next line where I cast to the explicit type.
type TMyRec = record end; PMyRec = ^TMyRec; var x: PByte; r: TMyRec; begin x := @r; // works x := PMyRec(@r); // fails end Regards, Ryan Joseph _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
