Common Type?
« on: October 21, 2007, 04:13:43 pm »
In the datatype dialogs, there is a field marked "Common Type".

I can't find an obvious reference to a definition, nor a list of the default common type.

The CONVERT_TYPE macro definition gives a hint...  (that common types are platform independent - which is what I'd hoped.) But that's about it...

Can a Sparxian enlighten us, please?

well, I think I'll rerise this question.
Recursion definition:
If you don’t understand the definition read "Recursion definition".
