If I have have a set with < 9 elements, like :type TMyEnum = ( xOne, xTwo, xThree, xFour, xFive ); // Count <= 8, fits in one Byte TMyEnums = set of TMyEnum; then in Delphi a variable of that type can be casted to Byte. Other casts don't work. In FPC I must cast it to Integer! Does it really mean that all sets in FPC reserve at least 32 bits? Is it documented? I did not find it as "Set" gives so many false matches.
It's documented in the language reference guide: http://freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refsu20.html#x44-510003.3.3
And as Peter already mentioned there is $PACKSET: http://freepascal.org/docs-html/prog/progsu61.html#x67-660001.1.61
