[fpc-devel] Re: Illegal type conversion: "<enumeration type>"to "TObject"

[Craig Peterson]

Thanks Thomas, and the turnaround was definitely faster than I'm used to 
with Borland. :)

We're still trying to get the whole project compiling, but once that's 
done I'm sure we'll start looking into using FPC's additional warnings 
and checks.  At that point we can start reducing our reliance on Delphi 
hacks.

I am curious about the -CR functionality though.  I haven't used it 
before, but according to the User's Guide it "Generates checks when 
calling methods...".  We're not calling any methods of the "objects" in 
this case, and I'd be surprised if TStrings was doing anything with them 
other than copying them around, so why wouldn't this be compatible?

Thanks,
Craig
