<p>creation</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Some types have an alias for convenience and backward compatibility. Even though it is wise to use explicitly sized numeric types the following &quot;shortcuts&quot; exist:<br /> * REAL maps to [[library_class:REAL_64|REAL_64]]<br /> * INTEGER maps to [[library_class:INTEGER_32|INTEGER_32]]<br /> * NATURAL maps to [[library_class:NATURAL_32|NATURAL_32]]<br /> <br /> all this is internally handled in the compilers class [[tool_class:TYPE_ALIASING|TYPE_ALIASING]].</div>
