You mean the original pascal only allowed function declarations to be
parameter types?
Yes. And it is still true in the ISO 7185 Pascal standard.
That doesn’t make any more sense than only allowing them as type
declarations. I guess you couldn’t stored function pointers on variables
or record fields then? Seems strange they would not support that.
Storing function pointers on variables or record fields is a Turbo Pascal
invention too.
