New Alpha: gpc-980420
by Peter Gerwinski 21 Apr '98

21 Apr '98

Hi, everybody! A new alpha version of GPC is now on Agnes, ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/alpha/. (Source (diff) and binaries for Linux and DJGPP.) Hopefully those strange DJGPP-specific problems are solved now. AFAI could find out, they came from a stack limit of 256kB on DJGPP which was not enough for `load_tree()', a function which recurses deeply when loading a large GPI file. In the DJGPP binary just uploaded, I `stubedit'ed it to 2MB. Now you can again do `uses GRX20'.

trouble compiling gpc source on m68k

Greetings, I am having trouble compling the latest gpc source on my m68k based system... an amiga 2000. The attempt to build from source dies at the following point: [root@localhost gcc-2.8.0]# make CFLAGS=-O3 LANGUAGES=pascal make: Circular cplib2.ready <- pascal dependency dropped. case "pascal" in \ *pascal*) cd p/rts && make \ GCC_FOR_TARGET="`case './xgcc -B./' in \ './xgcc -B./') echo ../../xgcc -B../../;; \ *) echo './xgcc -B./';; esac`" \ GPC_FOR_TARGET="`case './xgpc -B./' in \ './xgpc -B./') echo ../../xgpc -B../../;; \ *) echo './xgpc -B./';; esac`" \ GCC_FLAGS="" CROSS="" AR_FLAGS="rc" AR_FOR_TARGET="/usr/m68k-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ar"\ BISON="bison" BISONFLAGS="" CFLAGS="-O3" X_CFLAGS="" LDFLAGS=""\ RANLIB_FOR_TARGET="/usr/m68k-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ranlib" \ RANLIB_TEST_FOR_TARGET="[ -f /usr/m68k-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ranlib ]"\ SHELL="/bin/sh" \ all ;; \ esac make[1]: Entering directory `/temp/gcc-2.8.0/p/rts' ../../xgpc -B../../ --automake -c -DGPC -Wall -Wpointer-arith\ -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -O3 -I.\ -I../.. -I/temp/gcc-2.8.0/p/rts/../.. -I/temp/gcc-2.8.0/p/rts/../../config rts-base.p make[1]: *** [rts-base.o] Aborted (core dumped) make[1]: Leaving directory `/temp/gcc-2.8.0/p/rts' make: *** [libgpc.a] Error 2 Any pointers as to how to deal with this would be much appreciated.

I've never seen a compiler predefine undefined variables anywhere either locally or globally before and I thought GPC would be consistant in this strangeness by predefining in both places. I didn't realize it was another Borland "feature". Obviously I assumed wrong. But isn't this dangerous? It allows the compiler to happily accept code like: program test(output); procedure test1; var a, b : string (10); begin a := a + b end. begin test1; end. And then core dump at runtime, or presumeably some other undefined result. To me it make more sense to either set local variables to 'don't let the user shoot himself the foot' values (like global variables) or actual undefine them so that the compiler can warn/give errors about it. >That was twice the same program, and it produces 0 on my (Linux) >system, too. Ack, the second program should have been the same as above, except "a := a + b;" was replaced with "writeln(length(a));" But that is a moot point now. :) Anyway, I thought this was the source of a runtime core-dump I was having with some TP source , obviously I was wrong and I'll see if I can better locate what is happening. -Kevin -- Kevin A.

String Lengths in Procedures
by Kevin A. Foss 19 Apr '98

19 Apr '98

Hello, Today I was playing around with some code and was getting some pretty wacky results from a couple string functions (anything from random trash to SIGSEGV.) It appears that for some reason strings that are defined in procedures/functions are not initialized to a length of 0. For example: program test(output); var a : string (10); begin writeln(length(a)) end. On both Linux (gpc971001) and OS/2 (gpc980410) I get a result of 0, no problem. However: program test(output); var a : string (10); begin writeln(length(a)); end. Produces 65536 in OS/2 and 134515920 in Linux. Interestingly, if you declare more strings, usually by the third or fourth string the length will actually be 0 -- but I've seen gpc on Linux return negative integers too! I'm not sure how much of a bug this is as I'm not sure that the user should assume *anything* about undefined variables. I haven't checked the EP standard about this yet. It probably should be set to 0 for BP compatibility as the code I was trying to port to GPC was written for TP and assumed undefined strings would have a 0 length. -Kevin -- Kevin A.

According to Bendersky: > This is the output of that: > **************************** > Reading specs from c:/utils/gpc/lib/specs > gpc version 2.80 > [...] > GNU CPP version 2.0(2.7.2.1) (80386, BSD syntax) > [...] > GNU Pascal version 2.0(2.7.2.1) (80386, BSD syntax) [...] > [...] > test.pas:2: installation problem, cannot exec `gpc' Now it is clear for me: You installed gpc-980410, but you still have the old gpc-2.0 binaries in your path where they are found prior to the new ones. Thus, you are still compiling with gpc-2.0. To fix it, delete (or rename;-) the files `gpc-cpp.exe' and `gpc1.exe' in `/djgpp/bin/' and the file `libgpc.a' in `/djgpp/lib'. The new version of GPC will use the executables and libraries in `/djgpp/lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/2.80/'.

According to Shane Wegner: > > Does the gpc (gnu pascal compiler) work with egcs? Does anyone have any > information or is this compiler even being developed anymore? Current (alpha) versions of GPC are known to work with GCC 2.8.0. Using them with EGCS will probably require some patching, but should be an affordable effort. See ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/alpha/ for an up-to-date version of GPC; see http://home.pages.de/~GNU-Pascal/ for more information about GPC.
