Inc

Increase value of integer variable.

Declaration

Source position: system.fpd line 49

Description

Inc increases the value of X with Increment. If Increment isn't specified, then 1 is taken as a default.

Inc can be used on typed pointers: in that case it increases the value with Increment the size of the type the pointer points to. This works independently of the setting of the $POINTERMATH directive.

Errors

If range checking is on, then A range check can occur, or an overflow error, when an attempt is made to increase X over its maximum value.
