You cannot do this either in Turbo Delphi.NET.

Since arrays need initialization, .NET will not allow this in a variant type record.

I wonder what initialization *static* arrays require?

As can be seen from sizeof() of
TTest = record
buf: array [0..3] of byte;
end;
no additional information is part of the record. So what the heck is that information, that is pretended to need initialization???
