gpc version 20070904, based on gcc-3.4.5 (mingw special)

 

     Given

          type INT16  = INTEGER  attribute( size=16 ) ;
          type WORD16 = Cardinal attribute( size=16 ) ;
          var i16 : INT16 ;
          var w16 : WORD16 ;
why does

          WORD16(I16) := W16 ;

produce "error: invalid lvalue in assignment"?
