Initializing variant records - how?
by Martin G C Davies 08 Dec '01

08 Dec '01

Hi, I need (want!) to initialize variant records. I have created a small example - doesn't compile of course because I can't find how to do it. I guess GPC can do it since VS_Pascal (IBM/MVS), VAXPascal and SPARCPascal all allow me to do it (all in different ways of course!). Anyone? Cheers, Martin. program varaint_test( input , output ) ; type variant_record = record case boolean of false : ( compare : integer( 32 ) ) ; true : ( case boolean of false : ( page , offset : integer( 16 ) ) ; true : ( len , disp : integer( 16 ) ) ; ) ; end ; var mgcd : variant_record := ( compare : 12345 ) ; (* How can I do this? *) begin writeln( 'ok' ) ; end.

Change in packing
by Martin Liddle 08 Dec '01

08 Dec '01

Having got 20011123 to compile, I found three differences in the compiler from our previous gpc version 20010604. It objected in two different units to code using a GOTO with the error message: " Label '1' used before containing binding contour'. The code looks correct and compiles and executes properly with the previous version. Is this a known problem as it looks as though it should be fairly easy to produce a test case if required. However the problem is easily worked around. Secondly it picked up a number of occurrences of incorrect code of the form St[9]:=Chr(65)+Random(26) that had been accepted by the previous version; so that is progress. My main problem is that the packing of records appears to have changed. For instance a record of the form TCompR=Packed Record AName:String(49); AClass:1..40; Awel:Set of 1..120; RLate,RTime:Integer; End; has the same size as previously (as reported by sizeof) but when using this record to read from a file written by code compiled with our previous version of the compiler gives nonsense values for AClass and Awel. I can work around this particular problem by changing the definition of AClass to Byte but sadly our code has a great many packed records (because it was originally written a long time ago when storage was more precious) but making all the files backwards compatible is not going to be trivial. So two questions: Is there any switch that will restore the previous packing behaviour? Assuming there is not, could someone explain in more detail what has changed and what are the rules governing packing so that I can work out how to redefine each of the affected records. -- Martin Liddle, Tynemouth Computer Services, 27 Garforth Close, Cramlington, Northumberland, England, NE23 6EW.

Set Functions in RTS
by Loris Caren 06 Dec '01

06 Dec '01

I've created a 68k cross gpc (from gpc20010623). I fairly quickly found that I needed RTS set functions such as_p_set_equal and haven't found them anywhere. Can anybody point me to them, or check over the stubs that I've come up with (which appear to work for sets with fewer than 32 members)? I'm paricularly unhappy with the p_set_equal which seems to get called with one pointer being NULL if one is testing against the empty set. /* $Id$ */ #include <assert.h> /*------------------------------------------------------------------------ * *------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ typedef int SET_WORD; _p_set_equal(SET_WORD *s1, int s1z, int s1Size, SET_WORD *s2, int s2z, int s2Size) { if (s2 == (SET_WORD*)0) return *s1 == 0; if (s1 == (SET_WORD*)0) return *s2 == 0; return *s1 == *s2; } _p_set_copy(SET_WORD *s, int sz, int sSize, SET_WORD *d, int dz, int dSize) { assert(d && s); *d = *s; } _p_set_union(SET_WORD *s1, int s1z, int s1Size, SET_WORD *s2, int s2z, int s2Size, SET_WORD *d, int dz, int dSize) // [A] + [B] { *d = *s1 | *s2; } _p_set_intersection(SET_WORD *s1, int s1z, int s1Size, SET_WORD *s2, int s2z, int s2Size, SET_WORD *d, int dz, int dSize) // [A] * [B] { assert(d && s1 && s2); *d = *s1 & *s2; } _p_set_diff(SET_WORD *s1, int s1z, int s1Size, SET_WORD *s2, int s2z, int s2Size, SET_WORD *d, int dz, int dSize) // [s1] - [s2] { assert(d && s1 && s2); *d = *s1 & ~*s2; } _p_set_in(SET_WORD *s, int sz, int sSize, int bit) { return ((1<<bit) & *s) != 0; } __setbits(SET_WORD* out, unsigned long bitlength, long startbit, long endbit) { assert(startbit == endbit); *out = 1 << startbit; } /* $Log$ */

Problem building gpc-20011123
by Martin Liddle 03 Dec '01

03 Dec '01

I am trying to build gpc-20011123 based on gcc-2.95.2 under Red Hat Linux 7.2. I have done this before with earlier versions of gpc but on this occasion configure is stopping when applying the patch to gcc with the message: "Missing header for unified diff at line 449 of patch. The text leading up to this was |--- expr.c.orig Sun Nov 18 00:05:40 2001 Any clues as what the problem is ? -- Martin Liddle, Tynemouth Computer Services, 27 Garforth Close, Cramlington, Northumberland, England, NE23 6EW.

GPC Keywords/Reserved Words
by Gloria, Jing 01 Dec '01

01 Dec '01

Pls advise if there is a way to make GPC accept a field name in a RECORD or variable name and that field name or variable name is a reserved or key word in GPC. I am porting software from SPARC SunOS (using SUN PASCAL compiler) to INTEL Solaris 7 (using GPC). For example : EXAMPLE A: PROCEDURE Blkkut; VAR Trow, Tline_nbr, Tcnt :INTEGER; Tptr :Parm_ptr; Tmp_erlin :Er_typ; View :BOOLEAN; Repos :INTEGER; BEGIN (* Blkkut *) IF Slct_flg THEN BEGIN View := FALSE; Blkcopy(View); <<< this is line 349; View is a GPC reserved word. IF NOT Spare_buffer_used THEN I get the following errors during compile: Shared_tpl/Mprocsrc/blockcmd.p: In procedure `Blkkut': Shared_tpl/Mprocsrc/blockcmd.p:349: parse error before `View' Shared_tpl/Mprocsrc/blockcmd.p:349: missing `)' Shared_tpl/Mprocsrc/blockcmd.p:349: too few arguments to function `Blkcopy' Shared_tpl/Mprocsrc/blockcmd.p:349: parse error before `)' EXAMPLE B: Sortmask_rec = PACKED RECORD Bin_nbr :Int8; Class :Class_typ; <<< line 226 Class is a GPC reserve word. Any :BOOLEAN; Display_ch :Displ_char; Socket_quality_delta :INT16; Test_Sum :INT16; Test_List :PACKED ARRAY[1..Maximum_tests] of INT16; END; Error messages during compile. In file included from Shared_tpl/Inc/tplmain.typ:38, from Shared_tpl/Mprocsrc/blockcmd.p:67: Dependent/Inc/misc.typ:226: parse error before `Class' Dependent/Inc/misc.typ:226: extra semicolon I am using gpc version 20010623, based on 2.95.2 19991024 (release) and I use only -O and --no-mixed-comments options when calling gpc. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Jing Gloria Texas Instruments
