Booleans are not enums in Delphi (not even ordinals), but their own little
thing. "if boolean_expr" is always a jz/jnz, no matter what. They are defined as
0=FALSE and "everything else"=TRUE
However:
var
b : boolean;
begin
b:=boolean(3);
if b = True then
writeln(true)
else if b = False then
writeln(false)
else
writeln(ord(b));
end.
That writes 3, which is why your should never compare on the boolean lexicals.
Some Winapi functions returning longbool rely on that.
Wait, that was a trick question, wasn't it?
