- BOOL: This type represents Boolean values. Note,
however, that for alignment reasons an implementation may allocate
more than one bit for storing a Boolean value.
- BYTE: a subtype of BITS[8].
- CHAR: This may be a subtype of BITS[8] but other choices may be
made, e.g. for accommodating characters according to the UNICODE standard.
- INT, SHORT_INT, LONG_INT, UNSIGNED, SHORT_UNSIGNED,
LONG_UNSIGNED:
These numeric types are subtypes of
BITS[n] for appropriate values of n. - FLT, FLTD: These numeric types are subtypes of
BITS[n] and represent floating point values according to the
IEEE standard 754 - 1985 in single and double precision.
- INTINF: This reference type implements integers of arbitrary
size (and thus is an implementation of
UNIVERSAL_INT). INTINF and UNIVERSAL_INT are numeric types.
- TYPE: This type is used for the values returned by the procedure
type defined in 8.1.
