Hi all,

There is a way to know the size of a untype var param?

Something like this:

procedure MyProc(var A);
begin
  WriteLn('SizeOf(A) = ', SizeOf(A));
end;

but it always returns 4, as Data is a actually a pointer, SizeOf(A^) does not compile, SizeOf(Pointer(A)^), Pointer(A) is typecasting the data pointed by A...

TIA

You've to pass the size in an extra parameter.

No. As you discovered, an untyped var parameter is exactly the same as a pointer.
