I am just wondering if this is a bug: Can anyone tell me why I get a
"range check error while evaluating constants" with the following
simple program:
<code>
program Project1;
const
MyVar : UInt64 = $FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF; // 4 x 2 Bytes or 4 Words
begin
end.
</code>
The reason is that $FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF is parsed as an int64 by FPC. As
a result it equals -1, and -1 is not a valid uint64 value.
