Yes, they are the same. There is no difference, its just an alias.
The compiler accepts both "dip" and "dp", though "dp" is more consistent with "sp".

1@LoungeKatt can you please explain a bit more? "dip" is not even mentioned in the documentation anymore and I have never seen anyone ever stating that there are "slight alteration of the size". – WarrenFaith Apr 30 '17 at 19:51
