Thanks Sven, noted and understood. In practice I've changed them all to
qwords since this is the native size of the system being emulated, which
leads to another question. If I have a field and property like
fPB1L: qword;
..
property PB1L: qword read: fPB1L write SetPB1L;
procedure ...SetPB1L(p: qword);
begin
Assert((p = 0) or (p = 1));
fPB1L := p
end;
is there an unobtrusive way of changing the property to effectively be
property PB1L: qword read fPB1L write fPB1L;
when assertions aren't being generated? The obvious way would be to use
lots of $IFOPT C+ but is there anything more concise and maintainable?
Can methods be inlined, and could the compiler successfully optimise-out
a method which was a simple assignment?
