As far as I know $HINTS is a local directive. So, you can circumscribe only a
certain piece of your code. E.g:
{$HINTS OFF}
FillChar(Temp,SizeOf(Temp),0);
{$HINTS ON}
You may consider my point to be a bit conservative, but I really do not think
there is something to change about the FillChar declaration.
