Re: [fpc-devel] who can explain why array of const can't be passed to another array of const

Should developer care about internal compiler representation of an array of const for different conventions? It's more that even though both are called array of const, they are completely different things. They also don't support the same types. Imo this is a compiler task. I've checked the same on delphi XE and there it compiles. So whether this is 1)a bug 2)unimplemented feature 3)desired compiler behavior? You could say it is an unimplemented feature, but implementing it would require a lot of assembler code that's different for every architecture (and in some cases also for different OSes, since not all OSes use the same ABI and the ABI defines how C varargs must be passed). It is not a bug since the error message is given on purpose. Jonas ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
