A few weeks ago somebody (Martin?) suggested I got round an endianness
issue by doing this:
type WordLE= packed record b0, b1: byte; end;
operator := (wle: WordLE): word;
begin
..
It works well, except that attempting to use an assignment inside the
operator definition immediately recurses: I've fixed this by using
Move(), with operand sizes check by assertion.
Is it possible to tell the compiler that, for a code fragment like this,
it is under no circumstances to attempt any implicit type conversions?
