type LSTRING = STRING ;
t3.pas:8: warning: missing string capacity -- assuming 255
Is there some other syntax to creating an alias of a schema type?
On a related note, when I tried
type LSTRING( Capacity : INTEGER ) = STRING( Capacity ) ; I got t3.pas:9: error: duplicate field `Capacity'
on the attempted type declaration, and again each time I used the new type name. I tried "STRING( LSTRING.Capacity )" and "STRING( .Capacity )". No improvement.
type LSTRING( N : INTEGER ) = STRING( N ) ;
compiled, and worked almost as well as a true alias. It wouldn't let me pass a string literal as the actual argument to a "const x : LSTRING" parameter.
