type ShortBool = Boolean attribute (Size = BitSizeOf (ShortInt));
The intrinsic ShortBool
represents boolean values, but
occupies the same memory space as a ShortInt
. It is used
when you need to define a parameter or record that conforms to some
external library or system specification.
ShortBool
is a GNU Pascal extension.
program ShortBoolDemo; var a: ShortBool; begin ShortInt (a) := 1; if a then WriteLn ('Ord (True) = 1') end.
