Jonas, Thanks for the reply.
I tested this on FPC 2.2.0 for i386 Mac and it worked just as you described. This is only a workaround for files already stored from a current version of an application, and future versions will not behave this way ;-) Thanks again, Normann -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jonas Maebe Sent: 5. februar 2008 13:36 To: FPC-Pascal users discussions Subject: Re: [fpc-pascal] Lazarus with FPC 2.3.1 i386 Mac OSX On 05 Feb 2008, at 13:24, Bent Normann Olsen wrote: > Thanks for the reply, > > I was especially interested in the 2.3.1 fix in the sizes for > enumerated > types.

You can make them 1 byte in FPC 2.2.0 by using {$packenum 1}. It's possible that {$packenum 1} has become the default in Delphi mode in 2.3.1, I don't know. > I understand, that "set of" types has the size of 4 bytes or 32 > bytes, and probably will be this way for the future releases of FPC. Delphi-compatible set packing is already available FPC 2.2.1. Storing sets in a binary file is a very bad idea though, because they are opaque types and you cannot rely in any way on their internal format. They're also incompatible between little and big endian systems.
