Are you baiting me, or was that accidental? ;-) > 1) Dynamic arrays are initialised with nil, but that is an > implementation detail Is it, though? Global variables and instance fields are zero-filled, local variables as if the local variable block was a record passed to Initialize() (so, recursively zeroing managed fields). Although it is never spelled out, the Delphi manual heavily implies this. I would guess most if not all pascal programmers wrote code that relies on that at some point. @MvC: I'll come up with some examples and add it to the Portability page, since the different result variable initialization rules already are a bit of an issue. -- Regards, Martok _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
