In move.pas, the Move et al are defined as:
procedure MoveLeft (const Source; var Dest; Count: SizeType); asmname '_p_MoveLeft'; procedure MoveRight (const Source; var Dest; Count: SizeType); asmname '_p_MoveRight'; procedure Move (const Source; var Dest; Count: SizeType); asmname '_p_Move';
Given the comment in the documentation that const could be passed either as value or reference, should the first parameter be "protected var"? I presume since they are type-less, they can't be copied, so it has to be reference, so it would always be technically ok to be left as const, but "protected var" would seem more sensible...?
Is that correct? Peter.
