Recently I was having some troubles using the PInteger type.
PInteger is declared several times in the RTL:
The System unit has
PInteger = ^Integer (two bytes)
The ObjPas unit has
Integer = longint;
PInteger = ^Integer; (four bytes)
The Types unit has
PInteger = System.PInteger; (two bytes)
The windows unit has:
PInteger = ^Longint;
The math unit (compiled in mode objfpc) has:
PInteger = ^Integer; (four bytes)
IMHO the odd one is PInteger in the types unit, which is only two bytes.
AFAIK, types is a unit also available in Delphi and ^Integer is always a
pointer to a 4 bytes integer.
Don't you think it is better to remove the PInteger type from the types
unit, so that PInteger from System or ObjPas is used?
Vincent.
