You lost: 
its me (Pierre Muller) that
added this message.

The purpose of the message is to make clear that the
high parameter (containing the nubmer of elements of the array
that is normally passed to Free Pascal functions
having an open array parameter, is not passed to that function.

In fact this kind of warnings is only useful if  the function is not external...
but the warning is issued when 'cdecl' is parsed, so
the compiler does not know yet that the function 
is external....

I don't know a clear solution....
We could of course change the warning into a hint...

All suggestions welcome.
