[fpc-pascal] Can't determine which overloaded function to call

Do you mean: "2. Every integer smaller than the ”native” size is
promoted to a signed version of the ”native” size. Integers equal to the
”native” size keep their signedness. "?

I understand now. Although I must say that it is bit unintuitive for me ;-)

So I can workaround using:
    function Offset(const Ax,Ay: PtrInt): TRec1; overload;

Thank you for explanation
