hi list,
the code below compiled and worked with fpc 2.2.x.
With fpc 2.4.0 compilation fails with "Division by zero".
---- 8< ----
program divsucc;
begin
writeln( 256 DIV succ(255) );
end.
Well, Succ(255) is probably evaluated as a byte, in which case it is zero,
and then when attempting to evaluate the DIV, the compiler indeed tries to
divide by zero.
I don't know whether the behaviour of the compiler changed in this respect,
but it seems so ?
