type ByteInt = Integer (BitSizeOf (Byte)); |
`ByteInt' is a signed integer type which is one "unit" wide. On most platforms one unit has 8 bits, therefore the type is prefixed "byte-" and usually has a range of `-128..127'.
`ByteInt' in GNU Pascal is compatible to `signed char' in GNU C.
There are lots of other integer types in GPC, see section 8.2.3 Integer Types.
`ByteInt' is a GNU Pascal extension.
`ByteInt' in GNU Pascal corresponds to section 9.251 ShortInt in Borland Pascal.
