Problem passing byte as a parameter
lazarus / 21-General

A function test(x:byte;q:setofbyte):boolean;   screws up in that on
examining the parameters after a call, x does not contain the number
provided from the calling code.

In the project I'm writing, I have solved the problem  by redefining
the function: test(x:word;q:setofbyte):boolean;  I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE
TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM in a bit of simple code.

Has anyone else suffered the same problem, or have any other comments
to make?

Thanks,
Neville

fpc version, os version, bitness etc.
There seems nothing wrong with your code, but we see no code, just a
declaration.
Maybe as easy as override.

Actual error message or expected and actual numbers from the debugger?
As best I know, "screws up" does not appear anywhere in the compiler.

Remember: "When a programmer has a hard time finding a bug, it's
because he's looking in the wrong place".
