Hi,
when using arrays in C the layout of arrays is sort of flat, since
pointer arithmetics for accessing values works (e.g. "pointer += 4" for
32 bit values).
Is this the same for pascal/fpc? Do values of for example an integer
array sit in memory at 4 Byte boundaries?
For integers: normally, yes.
For elements that are smaller than integers, this may depend on the size
and the value of the {$Align} directive. But some of the compiler
specialists should confirm this.
(and then I'll add a note on this in the programmer's manual)
