Hi All
As you now, the Slice function (internal to the Delphi compiler) is not
currently implented in fpc (see bug
http://www.freepascal.org/bugs/showrec.php3?ID=2856). I am wondering how
easy it is to implement/circumvent this problem. In these regard, can
someone shed light on the following two things:
1. Are open array parameters in fpc functions and procedure implemented in
the same way as in Delphi. That is,
procedure MyFunc(x: array of integer)
is actually compiled as
procedure MyFunc(count: Integer; x: ^Integer)
and inside MyFunc, x is treated as a zero based arrays of size count, and
count is only accessible through High(x).
Are fpc open arrays done in the same way?
2. What is the internal structure of a dynamic array/open array in fpc.
Maybe, given a pointer and a array size, one can hack a temprorary dynamic
array structure (probably without typecasting) and pass it as an open
array parameter. Even without typecasting, this will let me compile
existing delphi code.
Thanks
Peter
