If I have a program like this:
------------------------------------------------------
program Project1;
{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
type
whatever = (seth, paul, ken);
var
haha : whatever;
begin
haha := seth;
writeln(haha);
end.
------------------------------------------------------
I can compile it in linux with FPC and run it and get the following output:
------------------------------------------------------
$ ./project1
seth
------------------------------------------------------
In other words, it actually prints out the name of the enumerated value.
In windows the program does not compile with an error of "Error: Can't
read or write variables of this type".
Why the difference in behavior?
