CInteger and --delphi - Gpc

21 Dec 2004


      Hello,
I've tried to compile the following code with --delphi option toggled on,
but the compiler reported
tester.pas:17: error: reference expected, value given
program tester;
uses gpc;
procedure CatchSignal(aSig : Integer);
begin
  case aSig of
    2, 3, 15 :             {SigInt, SigQuit, SigTerm}
     begin
     end;
  end;
end;
var OldSigInt : TSignalHandler;
    r,dummy:boolean;
begin
r:=InstallSignalHandler(SigInt,CatchSignal,true,false,OldSigInt,dummy);
end.
Then I checked the declaration of InstallSignalHandler and tried the same
with aSig's type changed to CInteger. It compiled fine, except when
the --delphi switch was on, because then CInteger seemed to be unknown ;-(
Do you have any suggestions how to fix this problem?
Any help appreciated. I used the freshly uploaded beta gpc version
20041218, based on gcc-3.3.3.
Best,
Adam Naumowicz
