Handling files in GPC (with Linux)
by chris＠bockermann.ping.de 06 Oct '97

06 Oct '97

Hello everyone ! I've a little problem. I want to open an ASCII-file in one of my programs and then edit it. Of course, I did this with TP under MS-DOS, but I don't have any plan how this works in Linux ?! Does anyone know what to do ? I just downloaded the bpcompat-packet but the files don't compile under Linux. (I'm trying to get some of the units into a Linux-version) So if someone has a good idea, please help ! Thanks a lot, Chris e-mail > chris(a)bockermann.ping.de … [View More]

According to The African Chief: > I understand that RHIDE was written > in C/C++, with a port of Turbo Vision to DJGPP. If this is correct, It is. Borland doesn't allow free distribution of C-TV, but everybody is allowed to download it directly from Borland. Unfortunately, this does *not* hold for Pascal-TV, AFAIK. :-( > is there > a GPC port of Turbo Vision, or is one being worked on? Can the C version > somehow be used with GPC? Certainly it can, but one must re-write … [View More]

'CASE' bug!
by Bernhard Tschirren 05 Oct '97

05 Oct '97

Hmm, it seems that GPC (971001-DJGPP) is plagued by TurboPascal's famous 'CASE' bug. Have a go at compiling the sample program below: Var I : Integer; Begin Case I Of 1: WriteLn('One'); 2: WriteLn('Two'); Else WriteLn('Big'); WriteLn('BUG!'); End; End. Now how did that bug get there :) Cya L8r ________________________ e-mail: bernie(a)icenet.com.au | _) | | ptschirrenb(a)cc.curtin.edu.au |___)ernhard |_|… [View More]

'GOTO' bug!
by Bernhard Tschirren 05 Oct '97

05 Oct '97

The new GPC BETA (971001) for DJGPP has fixed a lot of bugs. Great work!! Unfortunately, I found a new bug which only affects badly written programs (So why did I find it ?!?!? :). 'GOTO' used in a unit crashes the compiler with a SIGSEGV. Take a look at the code below: Unit Goto_U; Interface Implementation Procedure BugProcedure; Label BugLabel; Begin {$M BEFORE} Goto BugLabel; {$M AFTER} BugLabel: End; End. Cya L8r … [View More]
