program TESTPT ( OUTPUT ) ;

//
//$A+ ... enable Assembler output
//

type PT = -> PT ;

var PTEST : PT ;

function LQUEUE ( P : PT ) : INTEGER ;

   var L : INTEGER ;

   begin (* LQUEUE *)
 L := 0 ;
 while P <> NIL do
   begin
 P := P -> ;
 L := L + 1
   end (* while *) ;
 LQUEUE := L
   end (* LQUEUE *) ;

begin (* HAUPTPROGRAMM *)

  NEW ( PTEST -> -> -> -> -> ) ;
  PTEST -> -> -> -> -> := NIL ;
  WRITELN ( LQUEUE ( PTEST ) ) ;
end (* HAUPTPROGRAMM *) .


the result is:

this is the New Stanford Pascal compiler,
a modern variant of Wirth's P4 compiler.

that is:

type
 PINT = -> INT ;
 INT = PINT ;
 PT = -> PT ;

this is all possible in Standard Pascal, IMO,
although not very useful, of course.

Kind regards

Note that Delphi gives error "Type 'PInt' is not yet completely
defined".

Hi,

Is this a bug or a feature:

type
  Pint = ^int;
  int = PInt;

?
