type Comp = LongInt;
Comp
is a signed integer type which is longer than
Integer
. On some platforms it is 64 bits wide and thus has
a range of -9223372036854775808 .. 9223372036854775807
.
There are lots of other integer types in GPC, see Integer Types.
Comp
is a Borland Pascal extension.
In some contexts, Borland Pascal treats Comp
as a “real”
type – this behaviour is not supported by GPC.
