I just fixed a bug in the Mac interfaces where I had accidently put:
type SInt8 = Integer(8); SInt8Ptr = ^SInt8Ptr;
Needless to say that second line should be SInt8Ptr = ^SInt8;
I'm not sure what Pascal strictly requires in this case, but it seems an error would be indicated. CW does give an error in this case. Certainly the type is pretty dubious.
Any references to why it might be wrong in Pascal? Generally, pointers may be used before declaration within one type declaration part.
