Hi,
I'm writing a simple editor for Swift language. I use TProcess to run the Swift
REPL. Unfortunately, TProcess failed to execute the Swift REPL for no obvious
reasons. The Swift compiler and REPL are installed just fine and able to
execute any Swift codes. My exact same code has no problem to run other
executable files, like bash or Python interpreter.
Here's the code:
_____ start code _____
program Execute;
uses SysUtils, Process; function ExecCmd(const ExeName: string; const
Params: array of string; var OutText: string; InText: string =
''): boolean;const READ_BYTES = 65536;var proc: TProcess; i, numBytes,
bytesRead, outputLength, available: integer;begin proc :=
TProcess.Create(nil); proc.Executable := ExeName; proc.Options :=
[poUsePipes, poStderrToOutput];
// set params if high(Params) >= 0 then for i := low(Params) to
high(Params) do proc.Parameters.Add(Params[i]);
// execute bytesRead := 0; outputLength := 0; try try proc.Execute;
// write stdin data if InText <> '' then begin InText :=
InText + LineEnding; proc.Input.Write(InText[1], Length(InText));
end;
while proc.Running do begin // read stdout size
available := proc.Output.NumBytesAvailable; if available > 0 then
begin if (bytesRead + available) > outputLength then begin
outputLength := bytesRead + READ_BYTES; SetLength(OutText,
outputLength); end;
numBytes := proc.Output.Read(OutText[1+bytesRead], available);
if numBytes > 0 then Inc(bytesRead, numBytes); end else
Sleep(10); end;
// read stdout data available := proc.Output.NumBytesAvailable;
while available > 0 do begin if (bytesRead + available) >
outputlength then begin outputLength := bytesRead + READ_BYTES;
SetLength(OutText, outputLength); end;
numBytes := proc.Output.Read(OutText[1+bytesRead], available);
if numBytes > 0 then Inc(bytesRead, numBytes); available :=
proc.Output.NumBytesAvailable; end; SetLength(OutText, bytesRead);
Result := true; except // failed on e : Exception do
begin Result := false; SetLength(OutText, bytesRead);
end; end; finally proc.Free; end;end;
var s: string = '';begin ExecCmd('/bin/ls',['-l'],s); // <- OK
//ExecCmd('swift',['test.swift'],s); // <- FAILED!
//ExecCmd('python',['test.py'],s); // <- OK
writeln(s);end.
_____ end code _____
The test code called by the REPL is just a simple hello world program, nothing
fancy. Can anyone here enlighten me what did I do wrong in the code above?
I'm on FPC v.3.0, Linux Ubuntu 14.04, and Swift v.3.0.
Thank you.
Regards,
–Mr Bee
