Damn! :-) Well I get: other.pas: In function `program_Testcase': other.pas:15: parse error before `Otherwise' other.pas:15: undeclared identifier `Otherwise' (first use this function) other.pas:15: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once other.pas:15: for each function it appears in.) other.pas:16: missing `..' other.pas:16: parse error before `End' I'm using gpc 2.8.1 on Solaris. I downloaded a binary distrib. a few weeks ago.

Otherwise

Hi all, I posted to this list before, but we were in the middle of switching mail systems and I'm not sure my message got out. The gist of my message was: there seems to be a bug in the way GPC handles the 'otherwise' clause of a case statement. If one of the previous cases contains a case statement itself, the compiler falls over. For example: ----------- program TestCase(input, output); var test: integer; subtest: integer; begin test := 3; subtest := 5; case test of 1: case subtest of 5: writeln("subvalue was 5") end otherwise writeln("value wasn't 1") end end. ----------- Has anyone else noticed this or is it my mistake? regards, -- Jon Ashley ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Re: "<>" operator (was: First question)

Hi Hilohi, Yes, GPC strings require single quotes `'` not double quotes. Your assumption is correct... Use the single quotes. And by the way... Don't be ashamed of asking anything on this mailing list. You should see some of the stupid questions I have asked! :-) All the best!

Re: Support for gcc-2.8.1?

The 6.1 shipped in Germany still contained a prehistoric version, AFAIK, but apparently the international version, which might have come out a little later, now contains a current GPC. :-) > Their comment on egcs: > > "This is the present state of the egcs-compiler-develement > Unfortunately it is not advisable to compile a 2.0.x kernel > with this compiler yet." I don't think this is going to change, since the bugs are in the kernel, not the compiler (it relies on undocumented behaviour of GCC-2.7.x) -- except that the 2.0 kernels will fade out, as 2.2 spreads, which is safe to compile with newer GCC versions and EGCS, AFAIK. > Would expect the other distributions to be somewhat simular. > Therefore, why not bundle a cut-down version of gcc-xxx with > gpc? Then YOU control which version of gcc is being used and > all the receiver would have to do ( hopefully ) is unpack and compile I don't think we should include it in the GPC source archive, because that would blow up the download size substantially for those who have it already, but we could (and IMHO should) always put the source of the "correct" GCC version besides the GPC source in the same directory on Agnes (or alternatively, one archive with GPC only and one with GPC and GCC).

Objections? Receintly I purchased the latest distribution of SuSE: 6.1 It contains: GCC 2.7.2.3-36 GPC 990118-0 egcs 990315-9 Their comment on egcs: "This is the present state of the egcs-compiler-develement Unfortunately it is not advisable to compile a 2.0.x kernel with this compiler yet." According to the file list egcs 990315 is egcs-2.91.66 Would expect the other distributions to be somewhat simular. Therefore, why not bundle a cut-down version of gcc-xxx with gpc? Then YOU control which version of gcc is being used and all the receiver would have to do ( hopefully ) is unpack and compile Thanks, Russ <russwhit(a)mind.net>

GPC mailing list archive?
by Broadey, Kevin M 07 Jul '99

07 Jul '99

Is this mailing list archived anywhere? The FAQ doesn't say so, and the links from the GPC Home Page only point off to UNIX mailbox files for traffic up to the end of 1998. It would be handy to have the list searchable online. Kevin

GPC FEATURE REQUEST: STDCALL needed
by pdietrich＠synstar.de 03 Jul '99

03 Jul '99

Hello, the WIN32 API uses the stdcall calling convention, i.e. the stack pointer is adjusted by the called routine on return. This is not supported by GNU Pascal. Borland Pascal uses the keyword "stdcall" to specify this call format. This is needed for GNU Pascal, too. Best regards, Peter Dietrich

Support for gcc-2.8.1?
by Peter Gerwinski 01 Jul '99

01 Jul '99

Hello, folks! The EGCS is going to release egcs-1.2 as gcc-2.95. How much sense does it make to continue support for (a) gcc-2.8.1 and (b) egcs-1.1.x? Since it causes work to continue with (a) and (b), I'd prefer to switch completely to gcc-2.95. Comments? Objections?
