Hello,

Consider the following procedure:

procedure test(b: TBytes);
begin
end;

The common way to pass an array of bytes in this procedure is declaring and initializing a TBytes variable. But in Delphi (XE) I just do:

  test([65, 66, 67]);

However, when I try it on FPC (trunk), I get:

"Error: Incompatible type for arg no. 1: Got "{Array Of Const/Constant Open} Array of ShortInt", expected "TBytes"".

Is this feature supported in FPC? If so, how to use that?!

Thank you!

procedure test(const b: array of byte) ??

I know it using an array of bytes, but does it compiles if the parameter is declared as TBytes? I don't know if FPC sopports it, so I'm askig just to check if it is possible (enabling some switch).

I would do it like this
  test(TBytes.Create (65, 66, 67));

Awesome. It compiles and works, thank you! :-)
