Description
according the language report ENTIER(real-val) return LONGINT, SHORT(longint-val) return INTEGER so SHORT(ENTIER(real-val)) will return INTEGER; the current BB compiler has a range-check for ENTIER(real), the real should can be round into a valid LONGINT. otherwise will trap;but this is not documented. the Robert's example let us known the expression SHORT(ENTIER(real)) has change the range-check from LONGINT to INTEGER, IMO, it is a bad idea,it broken the ENTIER() defination,confuse user and harmful for code's rubost. for expression SHORT(ENTIER(real)), the logic should be: ENTIER(real) reutrn LONGINT, whith range-check (LONGINT );SHORT(longint) return INTEGER.
