Da die vituelle Console tty8 auskommentiert ist benutzt der X-Server diese Position. Du kannst damit dann bei Dir die entsprechende virtuelle Console frei halten.

Hi, does anyone know who wrote the gpc-port for FreeBSD? There are two small bugs in it, which (I believe) can easily be corrected by someone, who knows how to. But they should be fixed, because they might keep people off using gpc. Thanks for your answer!

Re: StringUtils, FileUtils

Dear Mr. Heckenbach, I apologize for belaboring my issue, but hopefully, your answers are of benefit to others as well as myself. I took your suggestion and used the --automake flag when compiling my test program and your solution worked great! There is one additional twist, though. Real numbers are only output correctly if there is no precision needed beyond the decimal point. For example, this test code, program testprog(input,output); uses GPC; var x : real; fieldwidth : integer; fieldprec : integer; begin x := 1000.909; fieldwidth := 0; fieldprec := 0; writeln('The value of x is ', longReal2Str (x,fieldwidth,fieldprec)); fieldwidth := 0; fieldprec := 3; writeln('The value of x is ', longReal2Str (x,fieldwidth,fieldprec)); end. produces the following output: The value of x is 1001 The value of x is 10091009 Is there a solution for the case where decimal precision is needed? Thanks again for your help. --- Frank Heckenbach <frank(a)g-n-u.de> wrote: > Ernst-Ludwig Bohnen wrote: > > > On Wed, 13 Sep 2000, Frank Heckenbach wrote: > > > > > in the current GPC version, I've included a StringUtils unit for > > > general string handling routines (on a higher level than the > > > built-in and RTS routines). > > > > > > Up to now, it only contains routines for a string hash table, but > > > I'm planning to add some more routines.

You need an extra level of indirection.

Novice question
by Nicola Girardi 11 Oct '00

11 Oct '00

Hi fine GPC hackers, please take a look at this foolish code, I, as a novice, have a little problem with pointers in Pascal ;-) (I wonder why I don't just keep using C:)) : type : PStrList = ^TStrList; : TStrList = record : Next : PStrList; : S : TString; : end; : : var : StringList : PStrList; : : procedure Foobar; : var : Str : PStrList = StringList; : begin : repeat : New(Str); : Readln(F (* : Text *), Str^.S); : if Length(Hdr^.S) = 0 then : break; : Str := Str^.Next; : until False; : end; Due to the assignment of StringList to Str, at the end of Foobar I'd get StringList not to be the head of the list but the last element. How can I keep a pointer which always points to the first element? Maybe that's really easily done, but of course in Pascal it doesn't seem that it works like in C, and I'm out of manuals ;-) TIA Nicola

CVS overhead
by Matthias Klose 08 Oct '00

Having CVS read access is nice, but currently, there seems to be something wrong with the configuration. Doing a daily update, you get every day all files; do they get touched when making the daily snapshot releases?

Problem with writing real numbers
by Stuart Pope 07 Oct '00

07 Oct '00

Sirs, I am puzzled. I am using gpc on a unix system (Irix 6.5). When the compiler was built, we had to turn off the -g flag everywhere in the Makefiles(which, we understand, is a common problem) in order to complete the build. Below is a small program which simply writes out a real number using 'writeln'. It compiles fine, but generates garbage output: program testprog(input,output); var x : real; begin x := 10.0; writeln('The value of x is ',x); end. This code produces the following line of output on my machine(SGI): The value of x is /// /////////e-//8//8 What's up with this???? Thanks for any help you can give.

pindent features
by Eike Lange 07 Oct '00

07 Oct '00

Hi! Thorsten Hindermann and I are doing a lot of work with pindent, a small program to format Pascal-Source-Files by adding or deleting whitespaces and changing the appearance of comments etc. If you like, you may add some features you would like to have in the program. You can download our actual ideas via anonymous ftp: mond.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/pub/pindent/README.OPTIONS.0005a.bz2 (bzip2-compressed) Ideas not in this file are: - Support for "FIXME"-comments (*@@ Fixme *) - .pindentrc with favourite options If you have any ideas or suggestions, please send them via E-Mail to: pindent(a)mond.dida.physik.uni-essen.de Eike Lange
