This is not a quirk but a variant record which is even part of the ISO standard. (Hmmm ... so maybe it "must" be a quirk?;-)
<grin> I wish there was something that overlaps instead of it increasing the size :-/ I guess the only way around it is Type-casting.
(BTW, you have one superfluous `END' in the above.)
Oops :}
GPC accepts this, just like BP or any other Pascal compiler does.
I mean does GPC add to the size of the record? Or are all the cases one size? For example, in my SomeVar example, would GPC treat it as 4 elements? Or 2?
