Yes, I was thinking of that actually
But I don't really want to poke the bear!
It seems or I've read somewhere that Delphi did copy some of the fpc/Laz ideas for their product so
what are we waiting for, lets help them out!
all of this ridiculous hacking just to object a simple non entity C:Array[] of DWord at the end of the record..
In the old days and maybe still in asm we used
ORG. $AddressValue
I suppose with some compiler trickery we could get the "ABSolute" key word to generate an entity address
type and value for calling code.
Come to think about it I remember trying to implement a palette entry in the bitmap image and was a
problem doing that since the final array at the end of the bitmapHeader used the same technique and in
cases where there was no entrys you had to screw around with the code putting in extra check points in it.
you couldn't take the C code for what it was and directly use it..
