[fpc-pascal] Problem translating c code to pascal

[Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho]

This is what almost works:

var
  hw_handlers: array[0..1] of handler_rec =
  (
    (content_type: 'hw_app'; handler: @DefaultHandler),
    nil
  );

But the compiler will complain on the nil:

mod_hello.lpr(108,5) Fatal: Syntax error, "(" expected but "NIL" found

I still don't know how what is the inner working of this. Does that c
statement really means a static array with size two? A record cannot
be null. When you access a static record you go directly to it's
memory position of Initial_Pos + X * Record_Size, where X is the
record number. Then you cannot have a null record. The best you can
have is record whose content is null.

Or NULL could represent that the array is of size 1 not 2.
