Re: "Boolean" broken in Delphi 2007 ?

I know, but I use late binding. In unit system, the variant manager expects
"boolean" in vartobool/varfrombool so it knows how to convert it right.

Anyway, I tried your suggestion. Passing a boolean as variant doesn't work.
Nor does typecasting Wordbool(true).


The only thing that definitely helps is moving the Round(zoom * screendpi)
out of the function call which is very unexpected and makes me believe
there's a rtl bug involved.

This works perfectly:

Y:=Round(zoom * screendpi) ;
x := 1;
o.testproc(x, Y, TRUE);


There's something very fishy about putting the "round" function inside the
function call. Occasionally my system throws the exception "out of present
range" which I've never had before. Maybe some CPU or FPU flag remains
set after the function call.
