hi Frank is this a miss-use of move, a bug, or something that has already been fixed?
gpc version 19990118, based on gcc-2.8.1
program as follows:
program astrings; { show string bug } var srcstr : string(255); temp : string(120);
begin srcstr := 'abcdefghi'; writeln( srcstr.capacity, ' ', length(srcstr), ' ', srcstr); writeln( temp.capacity ); move( srcstr, temp, length(srcstr)); writeln( temp.capacity, ' ', length(temp), ' ', temp); move( srcstr, temp, length(srcstr)+8); writeln( temp.capacity, ' ', length(temp), ' ', temp); end.
Output is as follows:
255 9 abcdefghi 120 255 9 a 255 9 abcdefghi
thanks, russ
