Delphi: XOR vs <> for booleans

Is there any difference between :

procedure InequalityMsg(ABool1, ABool2 : Boolean);
begin
  if ABool1 <> ABool2 then
    ShowMessage('Yeah, they''re not the same');
end;

and 

procedure InequalityMsg(ABool1, ABool2 : Boolean);
begin
  if ABool1 XOR ABool2 then
    ShowMessage('Yeah, they''re not the same');
end;
Solution

  • No, they are exactly the same. (Well, the generated code might differ, but the behaviour will never show any difference. And, as performance goes, this question is very unimportant.)
