Variable type casts

Thu, 19 Jun 1997 03:22:57 +0200

Would it be possible to implement type casts of variables (like
in BP) into gpc? Currently, it only seems to know value type casts.

What I mean is the following (works in BP):

type x=record lo,hi:shortint end;

var a:integer;

begin
  with x(a) do begin lo:=10; hi:=1 end;
  writeln(a)
end.
