Goedenavond, The following snippet gives the above mentioned error message on Mac (Yosem.) and aborts the compilation process on Ubuntu (14.04). I'm using version 3.0.2 [2017/02/12] for i386 and 3.0.2 [2017/02/25] for x86_64. There are several variants (mentioned in code) which influence the outcome. Code is from a low-level header file which I likely won't ever need but I thought it might be of interest nevertheless.
Hans-Peter PS: in case this should go to Tracker/Mantis? could this do someone, maybe? (otherwise let me know, thanks). ```pascal (file saved as a.pas) {$MODE DELPHI} // (1) _NOT_ using delphi mode works unit a; {==============================================================================} interface type pSExp = pointer; aSExpArr = array[0..((MaxInt div SizeOf(pSExp)) - 1)] of pSExp; // aSExpArr = array[0..((MaxInt div 2*SizeOf(pSExp)) - 1)] of pSExp; // (2) using a _shorter_ array, eg. ^^ works on Ubuntu (Mac still Error) pFoo = ^aFoo; aFoo = record rec: aSExpArr; end; function ahoppla(_x: pFoo): aSExpArr; {==============================================================================} implementation type pData = ^aData; aData = record offset: array[1..24] of byte; // (3) uncommenting offset works SExpArr: aSExpArr; end; function ahoppla(_x: pFoo): aSExpArr; begin ahoppla:= pData(_x)^.SExpArr; // ahoppla:= _x.rec; // (4) _not_ casting works on Ubuntu (Mac error) end; end {a}. ```
