Modifications needed to complile Firebird.pas under FPC
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: CORE-6207
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-6207
Project: Firebird Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: API / Client Library
Affects Versions: 4.0 Beta 1
Environment: Linux Mint 18.3, FPC 3.0.4
Reporter: Tony Whyman
Priority: Blocker
This bug report is intended to record the changes to Firebird.pas needed for it
to successfully compile under FPC 3.0.4. This is the result of preparation work
for upgrading IBX for Lazarus to use new Firebird 4 features.
1. The reserved word "record" is used as a parameter name and needs to be
escaped i.e. to "&record".
2. Unknown Types:
Replace:
isc_tr_handle = ^integer32;
isc_stmt_handle = ^integer32;
with
isc_tr_handle = ^FixedInt;
isc_stmt_handle = ^FixedInt;
3. Missing Types:
ISC_USHORT = word; { 16 bit unsigned }
ISC_TIME_TZ = record
utc_time: ISC_TIME;
time_zone: ISC_USHORT;
end;
ISC_TIMESTAMP = record
timestamp_date: ISC_DATE;
timestamp_time: ISC_TIME;
end;
ISC_TIMESTAMP_TZ = record
utc_timestamp: ISC_TIMESTAMP;
time_zone: ISC_USHORT;
end;
4. Remove or comment out:
function fb_get_master_interface : IMaster; cdecl; external 'fbclient';
This is not an appropriate external function declaration for a dynamic link
library and only applies to a static library.
When testing with FPC, if this line was not commented out, a linker error
occurs when trying to link with the debug heap
manager (needed for testing for memory leaks).
