I haven't used Indy but looking at the online docs it appears that
HashValue() returns an array of 32 bit values. That means you're trying
to assign to an array which is not allowed in C++ eg;

typedef DWORD array[ 4 ] Tbaddy;

Tbaddy someFunction();

Tbaddy array=someFunction(); 
// An array cannot be assigned to hence is not a valid Left Hand Side 
//   of an expression

Then again why call it 'T4x4LongWord/Record/' if it is an array?

Presumably there is some C++ specific workaround implemented - what
does the C++ specific documentation say for HashValue() and
T4x4LongWord?
