If the current releases are more stable, I think it's best to make the next official release asap. Groetjes, Berend.

I'm posting this from an e-mail from me to Peter about GPC 2.1. I think that the "stand-by" version should be GPC 2.1.0 rather than 2.0.1, there have been a great many significant improvments from gpc 2.0 to where it is now even tho it's not quite there yet. I also wanted to add something, when I said the "gamma" version should be released when DJGPP 2.8.1 is released, I meant that if the current Beta version is not ready, then the "stand-by" version be released instead with a note saying that the next version is in the works and is near completion (or something to that effect).

Hello, I am uploading the source of the new alpha for gcc-2.8.0 as a `.zip' file in addition to the `.tar.gz' file: ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/alpha/gpc-980401.zip The `.zip' file contains long file names, so be careful when unzipping it. Peter

Request for comments: gpc-2.1 schedule
by Peter Gerwinski 31 Mar '98

31 Mar '98

Hello, everybody! At http://home.pages.de/~fjf/gpc-todo_toc.html, we have a TODO list for GPC listing known bugs, planned features, etc. This list contains a section `2.1.1' with plans what has to be done before the release of gpc-2.1.1 (i.e. one version in advance, since the next version will be gpc-2.1). Our question: Which of those features [bugs] should be implemented [fixed] already in gpc-2.1 realistically? Some thoughts: * We are late with gpc-2.1. Current beta and alpha versions are already much more stable than gpc-2.0 which is still the official version. * OTOH, the release of gpc-2.1 will be a big step towards full compliance to Extended Pascal ("towards" means that it cannot be really reached with this release) and towards high compatibility to Borland Pascal. Waiting with the release until some important "holes" (which???) are fixed might be good for GPC's reputation. Please post your comments to this list. "Me too"s are welcome as well; you can send them directly to my address.

Just wondering, before I download it -- is this release based on gcc 2.7.x or do we need 2.8.x source to compile this alpha? This also leads to the larger question of when 2.7.x support will be dropped (if this release still works with 2.7.x)? -Kevin

New Alpha (source only) on Agnes

Hi, everybody! For those who are wondering what we have done since gpc-971001 (and those who would like to check whether I have applied all their patches correctly;-) I have just uploaded a new GPC alpha source distribution (gpc-980330) to ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/alpha/. Binary stuff will follow ASAP - whatever that means. Have fun! Peter

incompatible type (possibly) bug report
by FPL 30 Mar '98

30 Mar '98

Hi Frank, Hi GPC list, I downloaded rand.pas file on agnes as adviced by GPC Guru, and this one does not pass through the gpc --automake trial. Don't you think this part of code (line 113) PROCEDURE SRand(Seed:Cardinal); C; FUNCTION GetPID:Integer; C; should be thus written: PROCEDURE SRand(Seed:cardinal); C; FUNCTION GetPID:cardinal; C; ? Indeed, the all-cardinal solution does work fine (as cardinal being a c long int, one should also put integer everywhere, which also works). I think that previous version of GPC did not encounter problem there but that more recent one (mine is eventually 971001(2.7.2.1)) cannot compile because of incompatible, though not that much, argument type. Regards. F.P.L

Function result from ASM...
by Orlando Llanes 28 Mar '98

28 Mar '98

Using GPC's asm statement allows us to set the function result with an ASM statement, but how do I set the result of a function through an external assembly routine? The Assembler I'll be using is NASM (just in case you need to know). Thanks in advance! See ya! Orlando Llanes "Meine Damen und Herren, Elvis hat soeben das Gebaeude verlassen!"
