C++ pointer to byte array --> Delphi

[Namenloser]

Zitat von Der schöne Günther:

You ignored me

I believe I explained why the upcast is necessary.

I think in Delphi the upcast is done automatically by the compiler when the result is stored in a variable that is bigger than the operands.

Delphi-Quellcode:

var
  b: Byte;
  i: integer;
begin
  b := 255;
  i := b shl 2;
  // i should now hold the value 510
end
