Bugs with integer() in packed records - Gpc

21 Jul 1997


      I found some bugs with the new integer() types in packed records.
The following program writes 5:
program x;
var x:packed record x:cardinal(64); end;
begin
 writeln(sizeof(x))
end.
The next one says "constant out of range":
program x;
var x:packed record x:cardinal(64); end;
begin
 x.x:=0
end.
(The errors do not seem to be related to my very expressive choice of
identifiers... ;-)
