Hi,

Just curious. What is the history behind the Cardinal data type. As per
the FPC documentation, it is always mapped to the LongWord type. I
presume it is the same in Delphi.

It used to be opposite, if I recall correctly.

Longword used to be Cardinal. I guess it was changed for Delphi compatibility.
