I am using fpc 2.2.4 rc1 and I have a dynamic array of records which I Copy() to another variable, the copied array has reference pointers to the original array, I don't think this was the case in earlier versions of fpc.

Anyone know a work around? I could make a function the sets the lengths of the array and then sets each property of the record but the record definition sometimes changes and could lead to broken code.

Thanks

Found a solution.
Copy() only works for one level deep and since using fpc 2.2.4 the array became two levels deep.

Solution copy array A to array B using copy, then for each element of array B copy nested array from A to B.

But that is not a bug: that is by design and is also the way Delphi (and other languages) should and do behave..
Only a record with simple types (incl. shortstrings) are fully copied with a move(). Not pointer dependencies.
