I am a novice gpc user trying to port some code from an old Unix compiler to gpc. We have the following scattered throughout the code. Most of this code was written before I got here, so I take no credit.
PString = STRING[255]; pPString = ^PString; . . . PPtr : pPString; . . . PPtr^ := ''; . . . PPtr^[0] := CHR(I);
gpc is complaining about the PPtr^[0] line. If I change it to say "PPtr^ := CHR(I);" the compiler is happy, but we use this method several times to get the length of arrays or strings. Is there anyway to get gpc to allow this or does it violate the Pascal standard?
