Units / Compatibility to TurboPascal 5.5
by Michael Paap 17 Jul '01

17 Jul '01

Hello, does anybody know, if there is an option to make GPC understand the old TuboPascal syntax for using units, where the unit-name is explicitely written before every call? It looks like this: ----------------------------------------- program utest; uses stapel; var data : char; begin data := 'a'; stapel.push(data); data := 'b'; stapel.push(data); data := 'c'; stapel.push(data); stapel.top(data); stapel.pop; writeln(data); stapel.top(data); stapel.pop; writeln(data); stapel.top(data); stapel.pop; writeln(data); end. ----------------------------------------- We need this, because this syntax is used in the scripts for the students, but now we want to change our remote test-environment from TP to GPC... BTW: I want to thank very much all those people, answering stupid newbie-questions, especially Frank Heckenbach! Greetings, Michael

Interesting... a search on the hard disk reveals nothing named libgrx20.a. The closest I have is a libgrx.h, in /djgpp/contrib/grx243/src/include. I don't suppose that's the one I want? Where would I find libgrx20.a, if it's not included in the grx download?! > An other possibility is that you have used an old main program. > At some point the unit import file has ben renamed > from grx20.pas to grx.pas. Thanks for pointing this out. I hadn't caught this. Yes, unit is just grx.pas, so I have renamed my import call. The message I get now is: cannot find -lgrx20 {or cannot find -lgrx, if that's how I list the library} ld returned 1 exit status Toby

Seems that message/rfc822 data was corrupted.

Has any progress been made on fixing this: Seems that message/rfc822 data was corrupted. ? It appears every time I load a gpc daily digest into elm. It really takes a long time to process.

What does this warning mean?
by Michael Paap 15 Jul '01

15 Jul '01

Hello, I'm using gpc 20000727 on a Linux-machine (Distribution SuSe 7.2). When compiling, I always get the following warning: /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.2/libgpc.a(randfile.o): In function `do_seek': /home/elug/pascal-wochenende-20000729/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/p/rts/randfile.c:327: the `llseek' function may be dangerous; use `lseek64' instead. Can anyone tell me if this is a problem of any importance and how I can solve it? If it is unimportant, a tip, how to prevent this warning would be helpful. Greetings, Michael Paap

importing GRX unit
by Toby Ewing 14 Jul '01

14 Jul '01

Hello again The difficulties continue... this morning the compiler crashed so badly it wouldn't compile anything. After a few struggles, I did a clean delete, download, and reinstall. Things are going pretty well, and now all programs compile fine except those that use the grx unit. I compiled the unit OK, and moved grx.o to the djgpp/bin directory. But when I compile (alt-c c) I get: Error: module/unit interface 'Grx20' could not be imported When I make (F9), I get: Error: module/unit interface 'Grx20' could not be compiled What is this about, and what do I have to do to make it work? regards, Toby

Basic problem on IRIX
by Miklos Cserzo 13 Jul '01

13 Jul '01

Hi Folks, something went terribly wrong with the latest release of GPC on IRIX. Here is a short test code: program testit; var x:real; begin x:=355/113; writeln(round(355/113):10); writeln(355/113:12:8); writeln(round(355/113):10,' ',355/113:12:8); writeln(355/113:12:8,' ',round(355/113)); writeln(round(355/113*100)); writeln(round(355/113*10000)); writeln(round(x):10); writeln(x:12:8); writeln(round(x),' ',x:12:8); writeln(round(x*100)); writeln(round(x*10000)); end. And here is the output piped to 'cat -v' (note the invisible characters): 3 0.000.^@^@00 3 3.15923292 0.000.^@^@00 3 314 31416 3 0.000.^@^@00 3 0.00000000 314 31416 Also note that the real value in the third line is incorrect. The version: Reading specs from /usr/local/test/lib/gcc-lib/mips-sgi-irix6.5/2.95.2/specs gpc version 20010502, based on 2.95.2 19991024 (release) The OS: IRIX 6.5.12 The log of the make process and the result of the test programs are attached. The compilation of the most recent version of GPC is not resulting a valid binary. Any idea about this? Cheers, miklos

Hello, we have done the following on reading the installation guide. 1../configure --enable-languages=pascal --prefix=<inst dir> --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld 2.make {make-3.79 from gnu site) 3.make install still we are not succesful in building the gpc.the error is attached.

Re: GPC Build Error
by Gloria, Jing 13 Jul '01

13 Jul '01

I am having problems with building GPC. Aside from the problem with the prototype for concat, there is also another one with xmalloc in gbe.h and include/libiberty.h. There may be more. I am installing on an Intel x86/Solaris 7 platform using GCC 2.95.2. I pulled down the GCC source from the Sunfreeware site and the GPC source from the GPC site. Do I have incompatible source GPC and GCC modules??? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

size of executables
by michael paap 13 Jul '01

13 Jul '01

Hello, I am not familiar with the GPC, but i will have to rewrite a Java-application, which calls a Pascal-compiler and executes the new-built program afterwords to work with GPC instead of Turbo-Pascal. So I have two questions, for which I request Your help: 1. There is a really big difference in the size of executables made by TPC under Dos ans those made by GPC under LINUX. Is this normal, or is there any possibility, to decrease the size of the executables made by GPC? 2. Is there any possibility, to give the Sourcecode to GPC as a string-parameter instead of using a file? I would like to call GPC from the Java-Program this way, if possible. Greetings, Michael Paap

latest version of gpc
by P. U. (Uli) Kruppa 13 Jul '01

13 Jul '01

Sorry for the stupid question, but I get lost on the gpc ftp-server: How do I know the latest version of binaries and sources? Are these numbers ...199900... ...200105... dates of release or what do they mean? Thanx for your answer.
