Hello all
I've just noticed a small difference with the gpc-20010512 compiler from the one I was using (gpc-19991030). If you do:
program restest(input,output);
var s:string(40); t:text;
begin s:=""; {$i-} reset(t,s); if (IOResult = 0) then writeln('File exists') else writeln('File does not exist'); end.
the 1999 compiled code produces "File does not exist" whilst the 2001 code produces "File exists". Not sure if you consider this worth fixing given I can test for "" before I do the reset() easily enough.
( A "" filename is produced by some legacy code I maintain, when someone presses RETURN to a filename: prompt. Not very sensible to go passing it to reset(), but there you go. )
Yours
Ian
