IMHO using the for loop on a non pascal boolean type is simply wrong. At the
very least the assumption that the false and true are successive, and maybe
even using BOOL as loopvar in the first place.
The compiler accepts it.
Can somebody with access to delphi please check, if it compiles
var
b : bytebool;
begin
for b:=false to true do
;
end.
D7 and Delphi XE5 compile it but do not generate code, instead say:
'FOR or WHILE loop executes zero times - deleted
variable b is declared but never used in ...
But it generates code for
var
b : bytebool;
begin
for b:=true to false do
;
end.
Yes, it does. Strange behaviour :)
Michael.
