Hallo Bernhard, hello everybody! According to Bernhard Tschirren:

Function ThisIsABug : Integer; Begin ThisIsABug := 0; Exit;

ThisIsABug := 100; End;

Begin WriteLn(ThisIsABug); End.

[...]

The output is not 0 as expected! It not even 100!!! Looking at the ASM produced, we can see its one of those nasties left behind by C (RETURN).

Indeed! It will be fixed in the next release (perhaps this evening).

Im using GPC 2.0 (alpha 9704?? - Im not sure about the ??, but it might be 20) with DJGPP (2.01).

It holds for any version of GPC which understands `Exit'.

Thank you (EVERYBODY) for creating the greatest development platform in the world!!

Thank you! (-: Be invited to join us in improving GPC. Thanks for reporting the bug! Such feedback is very important - for testing GPC as well as for motivating us to go on. :-) Tschuess Peter Dipl.-Phys.
