Hi Dave,
My first comment would be you must declare the input as a variable. Next, I probably would type the Array out as well before using it. Type TByteBuffer=Array of Byte; function FieldValueAsString(var fsbuffer:TByteBuffer; fitype,fisize: integer): string; Byte arrays should not generate an error. There may be a memory leak for instances where you pass them in as constant values. Because the Memory manager would need to free that memory as it is a dynamic array. -Andy On Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 8:20 AM, Dave Coventry <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a function that I'm trying to pass an array to. > > function FieldValueAsString(fsbuffer: array of Byte; fitype,fisize: > integer): string; > > Calling the function: > > setlength(fsbuffer,recordsize); > FS:=TFileStream.Create(fname, fmshareDenyWrite); > FS.Seek(seekpos,soFromBeginning); > FS.ReadBuffer(fsbuffer,recordsize); > dfstring:= FieldValueAsString(fsbuffer,fitype,fisize); > > Generates the error "Project raised exception class SIGSEGV" > _______________________________________________ > Lazarus mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus > _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
