The GPC Test Suite in section 11.7 of the GNU Pascal Manual gives me 29 failed tests. This is 1.6% of the total of about 1800 tests; except for the 29 failures, the other tests all give 'OK'.
I would like your opinion whether I should simply ignore the 29 failures. Or do you want me to e-mail the titles of the 29 failed test to you?
My operating system is SUSE Linux 7.1 (Professional). The computer is a 450 Mc/s Windows machine. There are two hard discs: One is completely devoted to Linux, and the other handles all of Windows. There does not seem to be any interference between the two discs.
In trying out GPC, I have so far completely failed to get an answer to the GPC demo-program 'pi.pas'. All pi.pas gives me is an error message to say that linking was not possible. I presume that the answer should have been 3.14159...
I desperately need a decent Pascal compiler. and I still have not given up hope that GPC yet be successful.
