Portability questions (Arrays)

Hi everyone! Two questions about portability of properties of arrays: Let's assume a:array[x..y] of t (not a packed array). 1. Is it safe to assume -- for all platforms, including possible future ones -- that SizeOf(a) = ((Ord(y)-Ord(x)+1) * SizeOf(t)? 2. Is it safe to assume that Integer(@a[p])-Integer(@a[q]) = (p-q) * SizeOf(t)? (Is it generally allowed to cast a pointer into an integer, in the first place?) -- Frank Heckenbach, Erlangen, Germany heckenb@mi.uni-erlangen.de Turbo Pascal: http://www.mi.uni-erlangen.de/~heckenb/programs.htm Internet links: http://www.mi.uni-erlangen.de/~heckenb/links.htm
