pow
by Emil Jerabek 27 Jan '02

27 Jan '02

(I'm surprised a bit that nobody noticed this before.) The complex "pow" operator gives completely bogus results with negative exponents. Example: [artax:pascal]% cat tst.pas program Foo (Output); var z: Complex; begin z := Cmplx (5, 0) pow (-1); WriteLn (Re (z) : 5 : 1, Im (z) : 5 : 1) end. [artax:pascal]% gpc tst.pas [artax:pascal]% ./a.out 1.0 0.0 The "Complex_Pow" function in rts/math.pas computes reciprocals as 1 / (x+iy) := (x-iy) / |x+iy|, which is a nonsense. Here is a patch … [View More]

Attached you find the test summaries for RC2, based on Debian's gcc-2.95.4 compiler. For alpha it looks like the newly built gpc.pas cannount be found. Note that all compilers are built with srcdir != builddir.

Trouble using GPC modules
by Nicolas Courtel 20 Jan '02

20 Jan '02

Hi all, I'm trying to use the simple GPC modules mechanism, as described in the Doc (7.1.8.1, page 85), and can't figure out how to link the provided example, with module DemoMod3 and program ModDemo3. I'm using GPC 20011202 on Solaris-8; I tried several methods, for example: % gpc --automake moddemo3.pas and always get undefined linking errors: Setfoo /var/tmp/cc2daawp1.o Getfoo /var/tmp/cc2daawp1.o I guess the solution is … [View More]

Re: GPC Variable/Procedure Naming Convention
by Gloria, Jing 18 Jan '02

18 Jan '02

Frank, thanks for your inputs that I read in the mailing list archives. I was hoping there is an option to allow making the names in lowercase. Everyone, can somebody please send me information on how to change the GPC naming schema so that it will generate names that are all in lowercase? At this point I am willing to take a chance and rebuild my GPC compiler if it will generate all lowercase names. I have Pascal procedures/functions that are called by both Pascal and C modules. Global … [View More]

array of 24-bit cardinals?
by Toby Ewing 17 Jan '02

17 Jan '02

Hello, all I'm working with some large arrays (2^27 elements), and am about to run into memory limitations. Currently I'm using a bytecard for each element, but in expanding my program's capabilities, I want to add a second array of cardinal. This second cardinal needs to have a range larger than 2^16 (65535), but I don't have enough memory for a 2^32 cardinal. Sounds like 2^24 cardinals would be appropriate... I looked into the range-specified integers in the manual. It says: >>&… [View More]
