using a simple record, e.g.

some_record_type = record
  a, b : longint;
  end;

If I declare a record helper, does this change the record in any way? i.e. does the record take any more space when passed as a function parameter? Does it become somehow like an object, and need to be allocated? Or is the helper more like a language shortcut/convenience, where the compiler still treats the record the same way, and declaring and using the helper is equivalent to declaring and using a function that takes the record as a parameter?

I'm using mode objfpc

Thanks!
