Platform Package reference: Basic Data Type Definitions

Description of basic type definitions available in all Platform Packages for C compatible target systems. These type definitions are intended to be used when integrating the Embedded Wizard created GUI application with the underlying graphics subsystem, graphics hardware or other external GUI applications coexisting on the same system.

Discussion

The following C type definitions are covering the basic instant datatypes available in the programming language Chora:

C type	Description
XInt8, XInt16, XInt32, XInt64	8-, 16-, 32- and 64-bit signed integer. The definitions correspond to the Chora data types int8, int16, int32, int64.
XUInt8, XUInt16, XUInt32	8-, 16-, 32- and 64-bit unsigned integer. The definitions correspond to the Chora data types uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64.
XFloat	32-bit floating point value. The definition corresponds to the Chora data type float.
XBool	Boolean value coded with 8-bit . The definition corresponds to the Chora data type bool.
XEnum	32-bit enumeration value. The definition corresponds to the Chora enumeration data type.
XSet	32-bit set value. The definition corresponds to the Chora set data type.
XChar	16-bit wide-character code. The definition corresponds to the Chora char data type.
XString	Zero terminated string consisting of 16-bit wide-characters. The definition corresponds to the Chora string data type.
XLangId	32-bit language identifier. The definition corresponds to the Chora language data type.
XStylesSet	32-bit set containing active styles. The definition corresponds to the Chora styles data type.
XHandle	32-/64-bit value representing a pointer or handle within the target system. The definition corresponds to the Chora handle data type.
