I was just trying to run some old code and found that my calls to Move are crashing (3.1.1/ppcx64) so I tried to make this simple example and it’s crashing also. Also for some reason I can’t use @i as the first parameter of Move and MemSize on “dest” returns 24 instead of 4. What’s going on here???

var
	i: integer;
	dest: pointer;
	src: pointer;
dest := GetMem(sizeof(i));
i := 100;
src := @i;
Move(src, dest, sizeof(i));
writeln(PInteger(block)^);

What's going on, is that you didn't read what the Unit Reference Guide says about Move. It is not like BlockMoveData on the Mac and it doesn't expect pointers as parameter.
