[fpc-pascal] Record size

[Carsten Bager]

I have a data record ("sVar_typ") compiled with the 2.2.5 arm compiler. It has the size of 
32728 byte.
Now I try to compile with the 2.4.5 arm compiler it has the size of 32736 byte.

I write the addresses of the variables in the record, they have not changed.
It looks like the compiler just adds 8 byte to the record at the end.
If I use "Packed" in the record, the 8 byte disappears.
Because the record is used in a file, I have to know the size.
Is this an indented behavior of the compiler?

Regards Carsten
