[fpc-devel] WordBool or SmallInt ?

[Martin Frb]

fpc 3.2.3
The below prog prints 3 times: 11, -1   (signed values)

Besides the fact that a "QWordBool" should be "Int64", they all seem to 
be treated as signed.

Yet at least the first two of them are documented as unsigned.



program Project1;
var
b1,b2 : wordbool;
b3,b4 : longbool;
b5,b6 : qwordbool;

begin
b1 := wordBool(11);
b2 := wordBool(-1);
writeln(ord(b1));
writeln(ord(b2));

writeln;
b3 := LongBool(11);
b4 := LongBool(-1);
writeln(ord(b3));
writeln(ord(b4));

writeln;
b5 := qwordBool(11);
b6 := qwordBool(-1);
writeln(ord(b5));
writeln(ord(b6));

readln;
end.
