Well, I think this pretty settles my original question of whether the
compiler was "broken" or not, and the answer is NO. The PD compiler I'm
talking about is a port of a one-pass compiler from ETH, so type transfer
has to be done with VAL.
Now... when will we ever know which type transfer is accepted as a standard?
And does Wirth say anything on this topic in PIM4? It would be pretty
inconsistent if the compilers from his own house wouldn't comply with the book.
