In 1974, the creator of the Pascal language, Niklaus Wirth wrote a book with Kathleen Jensen, titled Pascal User Manual and Report published by Springer-Verlag. This book became a de-facto standard for the Pascal language. In 1982 the International Standards Organization (ISO) formalized the de-facto standard as ISO 7185. The ISO 7185 standard is referred to as Standard Pascal. The standard defines the minimum level that a Pascal compiler must support in order to be a true compiler of the Pascal language. The following are the standard keywords that all compilers must support:
The following symbols are also part of the language:
- := (becomes) · = (equal) · > (greater than) · < (less than) <> (not equal)
There are additional keywords which are not technically part of the Standard Pascal language but are used by FPC either for additional functionality such as for implementing objects, compatibility with the error recovery concepts exposed by C++, or to provide compatibility with Borland Pascal and earlier Pascal compilers. These keywords include:
- implementation · finally · try · unit.
Types
There are the standard types:
integer · smallint · longint · real · boolean · string · char · byte
Modes supported by Free Pascal
Free Pascal supports ISO 7185 Standard Pascal with the compiler mode option -Miso and ISO/IEC 10206 Extended Pascal with -Mextendedpascal. Support of ISO 7185 started with version 3.0.0.
External links
- Standard Pascal, reference information about the ANSI ISO 7185 standard.
- ISO 7185:1990, official normative version of the Pascal standard.
- ISO/IEC 10206:1991: Extended Pascal standard
