Description
if a property has a default directive, it doesn't allways generate correct code. neither does the [DefaultValueAttribute].
Steps to Reproduce:
the following property fails to generate proper code:

property test : Boolean read ftest write ftest default true;

This should generate the following:
[DefaultValue(True)]
property test : Boolean read ftest write ftest;

but instead it generates:
[DefaultValue((Short)(-1))]
property test : Boolean read ftest write ftest;

and the following code:
[DefaultValue(0)]
property test : integer read Ftest write Ftest;

generates:
[DefaultValue((byte)0)]
property test : integer read Ftest write Ftest;

which is also wrong.
Workarounds
use the explicit way [DefaultValue(...)] if the default directive doesn't work.

trial and error...
