Bugs with integer() in packed records

Mon, 21 Jul 1997 11:02:27 +0200

I found some bugs with the new integer() types in packed records.

The following program writes 5:

program x;
var x:packed record x:cardinal(64); end;
begin
 writeln(sizeof(x))
end.

The next one says "constant out of range":

program x;
var x:packed record x:cardinal(64); end;
begin
 x.x:=0
end.

(The errors do not seem to be related to my very expressive choice of
identifiers... ;-)
