v 1.1 boolean operators

[janni]

Help says: "Boolean operators conform to standard Boolean logic and return either TRUE (all ones) or FALSE (zero)". But assigning result of boolean operation to a byte variable produces 0 or 1, rather than 0 and 255 (like in bytevar:=a>1; ). Do I miss something here?

hi janni,
not sure but with 8051 you have a bit type... so boolean are bit not byte... that save some memory if doing well

[janni]

Sure, there are 128 bits to use, and no boolean type. Only the help says what it says, so I assumed that using byte (or word) variable in logical expressions is possible. If not, then the help file should be corrected.

Hi all,
I'm testing 8051 Pascal v1.1 eval, and found out, that disabling "highlight" begin..end and brackets don't work. If you remove the checkmark and press "Applay" nothing will happen to the code. Next call to Tools->Options-Editor Settings will bring back the checkbox checked...

Even though it's a great work - go on wth that.

Hi,

we were able to verify this, our IDE developers have been notified of this,
and it will be corrected. Good catch.

AFAIK Ord (True) equals to 1, so assigning a boolean variable to a byte variable should assign 0 or 1.

In Turbo Pascal there was also a ByteBool type which was true for any value except 0.
