Title

HP Pascal

Description

In general, this manager supports a subset of the Pascal expressions and declarations described in the HP Pascal reference manual for your system, plus the debugger extensions listed under "Syntax."

Syntax

declaration

A declaration of a type or variable, restricted to the following syntax:

type identifier[, identifier]... = type_reference

var identifier[, identifier]... : type_reference

type_reference  [location\]identifier
              shortint
              integer
              longint
              bit16
              bit32
              bit52
              bit64
              real
              single
              double
              longreal
              boolean
              char
              string
              globalanyptr
              ^type_reference
              array [bound..bound, ...] of type_reference
              set of type_reference
              typeof([location\]identifier)

expression

A Pascal expression constructed from the comments, operators, identifiers, literals, predeclared functions, type cast, and extensions listed in this section.

Comments

{ comment }
(* comment *) "comment"

Operators

Arithmetic: +, -, *, /, div, mod
Relational: =, <>, <, >, <=, >=, in
Boolean: and, or, not
Set: +, *, -
Assignment: :=
Array indexing: [ , ]
Field selection: .
Dereference: ^
Set construction: []
Grouping: ( )

Identifiers

Identifiers are case-insensitive and must start with a letter (ISO Latin-1 decimal values 65-90 and 97-122); any additional characters can be letters, digits (0-9), or underscore (_).

Literals

Integer

digits (decimal)

Real

digits.digits

digits[.digits]E[+|-]digits

For example, 5.48E-11 is a valid real number.

Character

'character'

String

'characters'

Boolean

TRUE FALSE

Pointer

NIL

Predeclared Functions

abs
addr
ord
round
sizeof

Type Cast

type_name(expression)

Debugger Extensions

`location`\`identifier`	Name `identifier` visible from the scope `location`
`va(`address`)	Virtual address `address`
`long(`expression`)	Cast the resulting value of `expression` to type `integer`
`longlong(`expr)`	Cast the resulting value of `expression` to type `longint`
`short(`expression`)	Cast the resulting value of `expression` to type `short`int
^`type_name`(`expr`)	Cast the resulting value of `expr` to type ^`type_name`
`typeof`(`identifier`)	The type of `identifier`; can be used to refer to anonymous types
Array slices	In place of an array subscript, you can give a range of elements:
	*	Lower bound to upper bound
	`expression`..`expression`	Given range
	*..`expression`	Lower bound to given `expression`
	`expression`..*	Given expression to upper bound
	Example: `print table [*, 100..110]`
