[Solved] Not enough error detection for array-char type

[AlexTP]

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. program tst_arr;
2.  
3. type
4.   TElem = (e1, e2, e3);
5.   TElemStr = array[TElem] of char;
6.  
7. var
8.   elStr: TElemStr = '12';
9.  
10. begin
11. end.
12.  

This is compiled by FPC. Lazarus 2.3.0 (rev main-2_3-1386-g23b2324f9f) FPC 3.2.3 x86_64-linux-gtk2.
If elStr has 4 chars - error is detected, if 2 - not detected. 2 items is error - elStr must have 3 chars.

Using '12' is in fact a shortcut for ('1','2').
If you change the code:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. var
2.   elStr: TElemStr = ('1','2');

you get an error:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. project1.lpr(8,29) Error: Expected another 1 array elements

If elStr has 4 chars - error is detected, if 2 - not detected. 2 items is error - elStr must have 3 chars.

A static array of Char can take at most the amount of characters that the index specifies, but it can have less (the remainder will be filled with #0).
