Frequently Asked Questions

Using far pointers.

Question:

How can I instruct the compiler that I require a far pointer instead of a near pointer?

Answer:

In 16 bit versions of Delphi, all pointers are far pointers. 

When running in a 32 bit environment, all pointers are 

considered to be huge near pointers as there is no concept 

of far pointer that cross process address space without 

thunking.
