See http://www.freepascal.org/mantis/view.php?id=8321 for a long discussion on this topic.I think I have hit a similar case with the following code: {$mode objfpc}{$H+} program test; { FPC 2.0.4} var w: Word; begin w:= 5555; if lo(w) <> lo(w + (5 - 5)) then writeln('This is a little bit unexpected'); end. What would you suggest as a "workaround"? Using the mod operator?
Yes, or using byte()/word(), or typecasting the result of the calculation. The result of lo/hi depends on the type of the expression.
