According to BP, the "else" of a case doesn't require "begin" and "end" for multiple statements, and that's how GPC behaves. I think it is OK, since the "else" part is always terminated by the "case"'s "end", so it's clear how far the else extends, even without another "begin" and "end". SP and EP (AFAIK) don't use "else" but "otherwise" in a "case" statement, so they don't apply here. (If GPC behaves wrong with "otherwise", that's another thing, I don't know.) Or do you mean anything different? (I was guessing the above from your indentation since you didn't state the problem.) -- Frank Heckenbach, Erlangen, Germany heckenb(a)mi.uni-erlangen.de http://home.pages.de/~fjf/links.htm

Hi, everybody! (* The dial-in connections to the Uni Essen work again; you can expect your mail to me answered soon ... *) I updated the GNU Pascal WWW home site a little and included links to Lluis' HTML version of the mailing list archives and to Frank's To-Do list. Please check whether everything there is correct and/or you like it. (-: Yours, Peter Dipl.-Phys.

'CASE' bug!
by Bernhard Tschirren 05 Oct '97

05 Oct '97

Hmm, it seems that GPC (971001-DJGPP) is plagued by TurboPascal's famous 'CASE' bug. Have a go at compiling the sample program below: Var I : Integer; Begin Case I Of 1: WriteLn('One'); 2: WriteLn('Two'); Else WriteLn('Big'); WriteLn('BUG!'); End; End. Now how did that bug get there :) Cya L8r ________________________ e-mail: bernie(a)icenet.com.au | _) | | ptschirrenb(a)cc.curtin.edu.au |___)ernhard |_|schirren tschirre(a)cs.curtin.edu.au www: www.geocities.com/CollegePark/Quad/8070/

'GOTO' bug!
by Bernhard Tschirren 05 Oct '97

05 Oct '97

The new GPC BETA (971001) for DJGPP has fixed a lot of bugs. Great work!! Unfortunately, I found a new bug which only affects badly written programs (So why did I find it ?!?!? :). 'GOTO' used in a unit crashes the compiler with a SIGSEGV. Take a look at the code below: Unit Goto_U; Interface Implementation Procedure BugProcedure; Label BugLabel; Begin {$M BEFORE} Goto BugLabel; {$M AFTER} BugLabel: End; End.

It was my error, sorry. I forget to set the attribute 'readable to all'. Now you should be able to download it. Thanks a lot for the report, Anja (: blushing :) Dipl.-Phys.

gpc-971001 DJGPP version: mathematical functions
by Anja Drewitz 03 Oct '97

>From Peter (the dial-in connections in the Uni Essen are down)-: Hello! The run-tine library in the binary distribution of gpc-971001 for DJGPP is broken and does lack some mathematical functions.

GPC To-Do list
by Frank Heckenbach 03 Oct '97

03 Oct '97

Hi everybody, I've set up a To-Do list for GPC. It contains all bugs known to me as well as wanted features. The bug list currently corresponds to the current beta version (gpc-971001). Most of the entries in the list come from discussions and bug reports on this mailing list. The main purposes of the list are for the developers to keep track of what's left to be done, and for everyone to be able to check if a certain bug is already known, or a certain feature has already been suggested. Some of the entries are written in quite a cryptic way, sorry. I hope this will change a bit in the future. The To-Do list can be found in several formats at the following URLs: HTML: http://home.pages.de/~fjf/gpc-todo_toc.html Info: http://home.pages.de/~fjf/gpc-todo.info Texinfo (gzipped): http://home.pages.de/~fjf/gpc-todo.texi.gz The list will be constantly updated (usually once in a few days). I won't post announcements here when this happens. Greetings, Frank -- Frank Heckenbach, Erlangen, Germany heckenb(a)mi.uni-erlangen.de http://home.pages.de/~fjf/links.htm

GUIs for GPC
by The African Chief 03 Oct '97

03 Oct '97

Hi all! This is a red-eyed Chief, taking a break from baby-sitting (;-Z A quick question. This is relevant to all our previous discussions about class libraries and all. I understand that RHIDE was written in C/C++, with a port of Turbo Vision to DJGPP. If this is correct, is there a GPC port of Turbo Vision, or is one being worked on? Can the C version somehow be used with GPC? Is there a GUI library that is suitable for use with GPC? Thanks all! PS: I am trying to construct a GPC link on my homepage. It is still at a very early stage, and I have already noticed one error. Please pay a visit, and give me your comments and suggestions. The URL is; http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/African_Chief/gpc.htm Best regards, The Chief Dr Abimbola A.

Compiling gpc-971001with EMX

Binaries for >DOS and OS/2 (EMX) and FreeBSD will follow as soon as possible. Well in my anxiousness to try out the new version of GPC I downloaded the source and followed the compilation instructions for EMX, however I get this error: gcc -c -DIN_GCC -DGPC -O2 -I. -I.. -I. -I./.. -I./../config gpc-comm.c In file included from gpc-comm.c:32: gpc-defs.h:38: gpc-config.h: No such file or directory dmake: Error code 1, while making 'gpc-comm.o' which looks right as there is no GPC-CONF.H file in the EMX subdirectory. Is it safe to use the GPC-CONF.H from the msdos directory when compiling? or should I try to generate my own gpc-config.h file? -Kevin -- Kevin A. Foss --- kfoss(a)mint.net --
