However, it surprised me that this syntax was accepted (with a dereferenced pchar): ArrayTest(myPChar^); as well as this syntax (with a simple char): ArrayTest(myChar); In both of those cases, ArrayTest thinks it's got an array of length 1. My question is (and I know this is a long shot): is there some sort of compiler directive or directive I can include in my source code to disallow the syntax of my second and third examples, ie., to disallow passing a single element as an open array?
No, there is no such directive. This behaviour has been there from the start when open arrays were initially added to Turbo Pascal.
