If you can repeat it, compile with another Extended Pascal compiler, for example Prospero's one. If that fails too, there is really something wrong with the code. But I suspect gpc. You're using which OS? Groetjes, Berend (-: fido: 2:281/527.23 email: berend(a)beard.nest.nl

gpc-19980830 binary for DJGPP
by Frank Heckenbach 06 Nov '98

06 Nov '98

Hi, folks! A binary distribution of gpc-19980830 for DJGPP has been uploaded to ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/beta/binary/gpc-19980830.i386-djgppv201.zip Greetings, Frank -- Frank Heckenbach, frank(a)fjf.gnu.de http://fjf.gnu.de/ PGP and GPG keys: http://fjf.gnu.de/plan

libgcc.a
by Thamm, Russell 05 Nov '98

05 Nov '98

I always wondered why the GPC distribution contained a different libgcc.a than the GCC distribution. I assumed that the GPC version had some extra stuff in it. However, it appears that the latest GPC version is incompatible with GNU C++. I've just spent all morning trying to make the GAWS package. Every time I tried to make any examples, I got heaps of linker errors. Eventually, in desparation, I replaced libgcc.a with the copy in GCC281b.ZIP. Suddenly all my linker errors dissappeared. I also note that the libgcc.a in the latest beta version of GPC is considerably shorter than the ones in previous versions. So what is the story with the GPC version of libgcc.a? thanks Russell BTW. I'm finally subscribed to this mailing list.

date format problem with GPC 19980830
by Harald A. Irmer 31 Oct '98

31 Oct '98

hi folks, the main Makefile contains a date command option SunOs does not understand: (neither /bin/date nor /5bin/date) p/gpc_date: date '+%h %e %Y' > $@ gives: date '+%h %e %Y' > p/gpc_date date: bad format character - e make: *** [p/gpc_date] Error 64 (found out what was meant by using DEC Unix 4.0d and correct it in my version, - I'll send a patch later) Yours, Harald A.

small omissions in GPC 971001
by Harald A. Irmer 29 Oct '98

29 Oct '98

hi folks, the last version of GPC I could get was 971001. It did not compile with Sun cc (SunOs 4.1.4/sun4m) Had to write: make *CC=gcc* LANGUAGES=pascal `SEEK_SET' was unknown in gpc-lex.c: #include <unistd.d> `size_t' was unknown in gpi-hash.h: #include <sys/stdtypes.h> Yours, Harald Artur Irmer Harald A.

Hmpf... this problem was fixed for schema, pointer and record types, but apparently not for enum types. :-( I added it to the bug list. Anyway, Peter is working on a new GPI format which will hopefully get rid of this kind of bugs (there are a few more of them) altogether... > I can't even seem to find a workaround for this (apart from abandoning the > user-defined type). Perhaps some type-casting to Integer and back will help, but it's not nice... Perhaps it's better, until the bug is fixed, to turn the enum type into an integer: type RRtype = Integer; const rr_one = 0; rr_two = 1; ... Not very nice, either, but then there's ugliness only in one place -- but of course, you lose some degree of type-safety...

More GPC bugs ???
by Thamm, Russell 26 Oct '98

26 Oct '98

The three following files show two apparent bugs: 1) The compiler seems to get confused between a standard procedure and an object method with the same name. In unit 1, the compiler confuses OneObj.aaa with aaa. So unit two fails to compile: Error Too many arguments to function Oneobj_Aaa. If I comment out the procedure declaration for aaa, the compiler error disappears too. 2) Types declared in other units are still problematical. Comment out procedure aaa in unit 1. Now the main program fails to compile: Error Incompatible type for argument 2 of Twoobj_Bbb. I can't even seem to find a workaround for this (apart from abandoning the user-defined type). I am using the latest BETA. (30/08/98). Russell Thamm {--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------} Unit one; INTERFACE TYPE RRtype = (rr_one,rr_two,rr_three,rr_four); OneObj = OBJECT a : Integer; procedure aaa(r : RRType); end; procedure aaa; IMPLEMENTATION procedure OneObj.aaa(r : RRType); begin end; procedure aaa; begin end; END. {--------------------------------------------} unit two; interface uses one; type TwoObj = OBJECT MyOne : OneObj; procedure bbb(r : RRType); end; implementation procedure TwoObj.bbb(r : RRtype); begin MyOne.aaa(r); end; end. {-----------------------------------------------------------------} program crap; uses one,two; var MyTwo : TwoObj; begin MyTwo.bbb(rr_one); end.

where do I get gnu pascal?
by Hamish Short 18 Oct '98

18 Oct '98

I hae been trying to get gpc for installation on a Sun solaris system here in Marseille for our students. Unfortunately kampi is not responding to ping, and there is no other computer I can find withh gpc on it... the machine sunsite.ic.ac.uk does not have gpc in the advertised directory gnu/pascal. Is there a problem here? best wishes hamish short
