Alias / Absolute (avoid variants) inside Records?
« on: October 30, 2020, 04:39:38 pm »
How can I use Alias / Absolute (avoid variant in records) inside Records? ...or some other neat solution, that would make my day now that I've had some more coffe'!

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. ..
  2.  
  3. type
  4.  
  5.   Thead_info       = packed array [0..10-1] of cuchar;
  6.   Thead_archive    = packed array [0..31-1] of cuchar;
  7.   Thead_filename   = packed array [0..256-1] of cuchar;
  8.   Thead_comment    = packed array [0..256-1] of cuchar;
  9.  
  10.   PPack = ^TPack;
  11.   TPack = record
  12.  
  13.     crc           : cuint;
  14.     sum           : cuint;
  15.  
  16.     pack_size     : cuint;
  17.     unpack_size   : cuint;
  18.  
  19.     mode          : cint;
  20.  
  21.     year          : cuint;
  22.     month         : cuint;
  23.     day           : cuint;
  24.     hour          : cuint;
  25.     minute        : cuint;
  26.     second        : cuint;
  27.  
  28.     attributes    : cuint8;
  29.     //pack_mode     : cuint8;       // <--- replace this
  30.  
  31.     head_info     : Thead_info;
  32.     head_archive  : Thead_archive;
  33.     head_filename : Thead_filename;
  34.     head_comment  : Thead_comment;
  35.  
  36.     total_pack    : cuint;
  37.     total_unpack  : cuint;
  38.     total_files   : cuint;
  39.     merge_size    : cuint;
  40.  
  41.     filFile       : file;
  42.     filName       : string;
  43.     filError      : cuint;
  44.     filList       : PStringArray;
  45.  
  46.     nodeList      : Pnode;
  47.  
  48.     pack_mode     : cuint8 absolute head_archive[11];    // <--- with this ?
  49.  
  50.   end;
  51.  


Yes I could do this:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. procedure something;
  2. var pack: TPack;
  3.     mode: cuint8;
  4. begin
  5.   // access
  6.   mode := pack.head_archive[11] and $1F;
  7.   // but this is cleaner:
  8.   mode := pack.pack_mode and $1F;
  9. end;
  10.  

...hope you get my drift :)
