### ShortBool

#### Synopsis

         type
           ShortBool = Boolean attribute (Size = BitSizeOf (ShortInt));

#### Description

The intrinsic `ShortBool` represents boolean values, but occupies the same memory space as a `ShortInt`. It is used when you need to define a parameter or record that conforms to some external library or system specification.

#### Conforming to

`ShortBool` is a GNU Pascal extension.

#### Example

         program ShortBoolDemo;
         var
           a: ShortBool;
         begin
           ShortInt (a) := 1;
           if a then WriteLn ('Ord (True) = 1')
         end.
