[fpc-pascal] Untyped var params

[Andrew Hall]

If you cast your “something” to a typed pointer, the compiler will do the work for you in the usual way:

PDouble(something)^ := myDouble;
PAnsiString(something)^ := myAnsiString;
myRecordStructure  := PMyRecordStructure(something)^;

Or less elegantly:

AnsiString(Pointer(something)^) := myAnsiString;
