Probably a range/overflow checking bug in Delphi 2010 compiler as well.
I tested it in Delphi 2010 as well... bug seems to be present there as well. Same behaviour there... no range/underflow warnings/exceptions for method 2 for BitCount 16. Bye, Skybuck. ... 25 May 2010 10:10

Probably a range/overflow checking bug in Delphi 2007 compiler.
However Michael's Code is a bit dangerous because of the way Delphi compiles it: At first glance during testing apperently it doesn't require a "word" typecast to make it safe: function Mask2MichaelVinther( ParaBitCount : byte ) : word; inline; begin result := (1 shl ParaBitCount)-1; end; Carefully loo... 25 May 2010 10:10
