9.87 far

Synopsis

Description

The `far' directive can be appended to a procedure or function heading but is ignored by GPC. It is there for Borland compatibility, only. (Since the GNU compilers provide a flat memory model, the distinction between `near' and `far' pointers is void.)

Conforming to

`far' is a Borland Pascal extension.

Example

 
program FarDemo;

var p: procedure;

{$W-} { Don't warn about the uselessness of `far' }

procedure Foo; far; { `far' has no effect in GPC } begin WriteLn ('Foo') end;

begin p := Foo; { Would also work without `far' in GPC. } p end.
