Besides Integer
, GNU Pascal supports a large zoo of integer
types. Some of them you will find in other compilers, too, but most
are GNU Pascal extensions, introduced for particular needs. Many of
these types are synonyms for each other. In total, GPC provides 20
built-in integer types, plus seven families you can play with. (Four
of these "families" are signed and unsigned, packed and unpacked
subrange types; the others are explained below.)
