[fpc-pascal] Initializing a record-type variable to get rid of the false-positive compiler hint

[Bihar Anwar]

Thanks for your reply José, but what is the philosophy behind the solution? and What are the reasons for $PUSH and $POP? Also, I tried to remove the $HINTS directive, and it worked fine without it. Could you explain this?

I'm using:

procedure InitRecord(out Rec; const ASize: SizeUint);
begin
{$PUSH}
{$HINTS OFF}
  FillByte(Rec,ASize,0);
{$POP}
end;

Unfortunatly it can not be inlined :( due the formal parameter.
