[fpc-pascal] Partially initializing array of records

[ik]

You are talking about dynamic array:

type
      node = record
            foo : array of integer;
            bar : array of integer;
      end

var
     graph : array of node;


SetLength(graph, 5); // Gives you 0..4 elements
SetLength(graph.foo, 10); //Gives you 0..9 elements
...
