[Solved] SysUtils has strange IFDEFs

[AlexTP]

I find it bad that 'TBytes' is not described in the wiki (I cannot find the topic). But wiki has a lot of pages for primitive types and/or funcs.
I just wanted to read info about TBytes.

Ah, TBytes is just 'array of byte'. Solved.
BTW, this place in SysUtils has rather strange IFDEFs. Why first int consttant is not ok?

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.    PByteArray = ^TByteArray;
2.    TByteArray = Array[0..{$ifdef CPU16}32766{$else}32767{$endif}] of Byte;
3.  
4.    PWordarray = ^TWordArray;
5.    TWordArray = array[0..{$ifdef CPU16}16382{$else}16383{$endif}] of Word;
6.

There is a short note attached to that specific commit: * size of TByteArray and TWordArray reduced by 1 on 16-bit CPUs to avoid 'structure too large' errors when compiling the sysutils unit

Okay, it's now clear.
