I am porting a Mac CodeWarrior project to FreePascal and have hit a compile problem with a pointer. In my original code I have a structure defined along the lines of
testData = record testIndex : array [0..12] of integer; end; testDataPointer = ^testData; testDataHandle = ^testDataPointer; Within my main code I open a file and try to read it into my structure testDataHdl := testDataHandle(NewHandleClear(sizeof(testData))); OSError := FSRead(fileRefNum, numberOfBytes, testDataHdl^) The FSRead line fails with error: 62: Incompatible type for arg no. 3: Got "testDataPointer", expected "Ptr" - the third parameter for FSRead is a pointer. I presume this is because FreePascal uses typed pointers. I tried replacing testDataHdl^ by Ptr(testDataHdl)^ but that gives a similar error - Got "ShortInt", expected "Ptr" Does anyone know how I can get around this? regards...
