Re: [fpc-pascal] Range check error warning.

Yes, those constants are defaulting to integer, which can represent both negative and positive values. When you do your shl you're inadvertently causing them to go into the range that pascal thinks is negative. The typed constant should fix it. -- Alexander Grotewohl https://dcclos
