program blah;
type
stringy = array[4..10] of char;
var
C: stringy;
D: array[2..5] of char;
procedure showstring(I:Integer);
begin
Write(C[I]);
end;
begin
C:='ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
D:='ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
Writeln(D);
showstring(-5);
end.
FPC doesn't even complain about range exceeded whether
during compilation or runtime... isn't this an egregious
violation of Pascal's strict typing philosophy? Does
Turbo Pascal/Delphi behave this way as well?
