set of (bold,italic,underlined) and fits inside a byte. But of course the poor C folks can't do this so they just use a byte and do all that bit twiddling. But it seems GPC requires 4 bytes for this, even if both the set and the subrange are packed. Is that correct?
Yes. Sets are mostly treated as Integers.
I presume there is no way to work around this (and no, I'm not asking for it as a feature, just double checking that it is not possible currently).
Could the following help you?
program Bar; type TFace = packed record Bold, Italic, Underlined: Boolean end; var x: TFace; begin WriteLn (SizeOf (x)) { 1 Byte } end.
