E2193 Slice standard function only allowed as open array argument (Delphi)

Go Up to Error and Warning Messages (Delphi) Index

An attempt has been made to pass an array slice to a fixed size array. Array slices can only be sent to open array parameters. none

program Produce;

  type
    IntegerArray = array [1..10] OF Integer;

  var
    SliceMe : array [1..200] OF Integer;

  procedure TakesArray(x : IntegerArray);
  begin
  end;

begin TakesArray(SLICE(SliceMe, 5));
end.

In the above example, the error is produced because TakesArray expects a fixed size array.

program Solve;

  type
    IntegerArray = array [1..10] OF Integer;

  var
    SliceMe : array [1..200] OF Integer;

  procedure TakesArray(x : array of Integer);
  begin
  end;

begin TakesArray(SLICE(SliceMe, 5));
end.

In the above example, the error is not produced because TakesArray takes an open array as the parameter.
