[fpc-pascal] FPC 2.4.4 - Error: Illegal type conversion: "Set of TMySet" to "Byte" ... and vice versa

[fred f]

Hi guys,

I am trying to compile my code which is compatible with Delphi and FPC
2.5.1+, but when I try to compile on Mac OS X with 2.4.4 I have error
message:

Error: Illegal type conversion: "Set of TMyEnum" to "Byte"

and

Error: Illegal type conversion: "Byte" to "Set of TMyEnum"

The code is following:

type TMyEnum = (meFirst, meSecond);
type TMyEnumSet = set of TMyEnum;

var myEnum:TMyEnumSet;
    b:byte;
...

  b := byte (myEnum);

or

 myEnum := TMyEnumSet(b);



What is wrong on this for 2.4.4?

Thanks.
