Yes, because C `float`'s size is 4, and Pascal `double`'s, 8. Pascal
`cfloat` is just a alias to `single`, 4. :-) Try two tests:

$ echo -e '#include <stdio.h>\nint main(){printf("size of float: %zu\\n",
sizeof(float));return 0;}' > fredvs.c && gcc -o fredvs fredvs.c && clear &&
./fredvs # it prints "size of float: 4" on your terminal

and:

$ echo "program fredvs;begin writeln('sizeof double: ',
sizeof(double));writeln('size of single: ', sizeof(single));end." >
fredvs.pp && fpc fredvs.pp && clear && ./fredvs # it prints "sizeof double:
8" and "size of single: 4" on your terminal
