FW: List responses (was: standards, responses to list)
by da Silva, Joe 15 Oct '01

15 Oct '01

No, I wasn't trying to "labour the point" here, I really did forget to "fiddle" the "To" address field for this message (see below). And it's certainly not the first time this has happened to me, or others on this list. :-( Joe. > -----Original Message----- > From: da Silva, Joe > Sent: Monday, October 15, 2001 7:40 PM > To: 'african_chief(a)bigfoot.com' > Subject: RE: List responses (was: standards, responses to list) > > Replying to "All recipients" means the originator gets two > copies - not very clever, huh?

Help needed about GPC string
by Pierre Muller 14 Oct '01

14 Oct '01

Already some time ago I wanted to add support for GPC strings in GDB pascal extensions. But when I tried to look at it I discovered that its changes from the version I used at that time to a more recent one (this was around a year ago or even more). Are GPC strings now stable ? I need some advice about the following: This is what I got using gpc2953 for djgpp I do understand the meaning of the two first fields quite easily, but what is _p_schema_ ??? While is the length indicated as having 12 bytes when apparently only 9 are used (is this just padding) ? Most importantly, where are the chars ? This the length of the stabs incorrect and a variable just has the chars at the end of this kind of header (as Free Pascal Ansistrings do) ? Or is the data accessed via some pointer again. What is the position in memory of the first char of the string ? Is this value still susceptible to changes ? .stabs "String:t(0,19)=s12Capacity:(0,4),0,32;length:(0,4),32,32;\\",128,0,0,0 .stabs "_p_schema_:(0,20)=@s8;@S;S(0,21)=r(0,1);0000000000001;0000000000001;,64,8;; ",128,0,0,0 I really need some feedback to be able to enhance string support for GPC.

Who creates this Error-Message?
by michael paap 14 Oct '01

14 Oct '01

Hello, i am running a program compiled with GPC, which reads his input from a file: executable < file now, if the program tries to read more values as there are in the file, i get the following error: executable: attempt to read past end of Input (error #454 at 16ddb) My question now is: Where is this error-message created, and where can I get a list of the meanings of the error-codes? Greetings, Michael

Help with data conversion..
by Miguel A Pérez E 14 Oct '01

14 Oct '01

Hello, please forgiveme if this is a trivial question. I have an integer variable and I am looking for the easiest way to convert it to an ascii or hexa form. sNumber := HexaToAscii( '30414439'); Then sNumber results in '0AD9' But the string '30414439' is in hexa and it corresponds with the decimal number 809583673. What function will allow me to obtain that hexa string or the ascii string from the integer number? Thank you in advance. Miguel PÃ©rez

DEC alpha, character escapes
by Miklos Cserzo 14 Oct '01

14 Oct '01

Hi Folks, just for the record the building of gpc-20010924 is straight on DEC (Compaq) alpha running under SuSE 7.1 Linux. 26 tests of the suite are failed. If anyone interested I can send the log-file. Now the question: what is the compiler switch for interpreting character escape sequences? (Like '\t' for tab, '\n' for new line etc..) The {$E+} directive or the --char-escapes switch does not seems to work. Cheers, miklos

how to assign values to complex constants
by ZINTEL Gerhard 14 Oct '01

14 Oct '01

Hello pascal gurus, I want to declare a complex constant in gpc like the following, non working example: const I : complex = (0.0, 1.0); I have not found any example how to do this in the list archive or in the manual. Another question concerning the same subject: Is there a possibility to assign real values only to the real or imaginary parts of a variable especially to a function return value like in the following non working, sensless example: function add(a,b: complex):complex; begin add.re := re(a) + re(b); add.im := im(a) + im(b); end; Any Idea? Many thanks in advance. Gerhard Gerhard Zintel Faurecia Abgastechnik GmbH Abt.: EGA Tel.: +49 911 7610176 Fax.: +49 911 7610350 e-mail: GZintel(a)Stadeln.Faurecia.com

Graph Unit
by Fernando Sanz 13 Oct '01

13 Oct '01

I have my gpc working OK under LINUX SuSE 7.0, and would like to use the Borland-style graph mode. Is there a Graph Unit available, like graph.tpu in windows?

Re: Darwin port possible?
by da Silva, Joe 13 Oct '01

13 Oct '01

This raises a similar question, that I had been wondering about ... If "gcc" has been ported or targeted (ie. as a cross-compiler) to a particular platform, does this mean that "gpc" can be readily (ie. easily) ported or targeted to the same platform? For example, I have seen mention of (but have not located) a "gcc" cross-compiler for the Motorola 68HC11 microcontroller - could this be used with "gpc" to make a Pascal cross-compiler for the 68HC11?
