That's what a documentation is for!
Well, the user guide, programmer's reference or basically everything other
than the API documentation mentions whenever something is platform
specific.
And they're hand written.
Then I don't understand what the web page
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/system/sizeint.html
realy is.
I thought it was an online documentation of the Free Pascal runtime library.
Is it not?
What is the API documentation you talk about?
Free Pascal cannot be documented without the OS-specific details.
Isn't the SIZEINT type a part of Free Pascal?
Then a documentation has to tell all details about it.
Otherwise it cannot be called documentation.
But what is then?
How should I know that these documentations are for *nix only?
*nix units are not available on non-nix platforms, it's that simple.
When I search for "sizeint" in google I find
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/system/sizeint.html
What is unix-related here?
It is a general documentation of the SIZEINT type.
Not a single word about *nix.
SizeInt has nothing to do with the OS, everything with the CPU.
I have improved the documentation of SizeInt, it will be visible in the next
release.
Michael.
