Keywords and operators supported by GNU Pascal

This chapter lists all keywords and operators understood by GNU Pascal.

Keywords

By default, keywords can be redefined to make it possible that every correct ISO 7185 program can be compiled. However, you can use the compiler switches --pascal-standard, --pascal-extended, --pascal-object, --pascal-borland, and --pascal-sc to tell GPC that keywords of a given standard must not to be redefined.

The keywords are taken from the following standards:

Operators

GNU Pascal operators, ordered by precedence.

The PXSC operators `+<', `-<', etc. are not implemented into GNU Pascal but may be defined by the user. If you do so and meet the PXSC requirements, please let us know. The other real operators do not meet PXSC requirements.

The Object Pascal operator `IS' is not implemented.

:=
<    =    >    IN   <>   >=   <=
+    -    OR   +<   -<   +>   ->
*    /    DIV  MOD  AND  SHL  SHR  XOR  *<   /<   *>   />
POW  **   IS
NOT
