That is because 5.1 cannot be represented exactly using floating point. As a result, the compiler will parse it using the highest precision available, which is probably the 80 bit extended type on your target platform. Therefore, the second samevalue calls the extended precision version of that routine, while the first one calls the double precision version (since both arguments are double). so the OP should get the desired results if they use if samevalue(a, double(5.1)) then correct? -- NOTE: No off-list assistance is given without prior approval. *Please keep mailing list traffic on the list* unless private contact is specifically requested and granted. ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

Re: [fpc-devel] BOOL
my understanding of TRUE and FALSE has always been FALSE = 0 TRUE = !FALSE we have, in some of our code, used this to determine a "truth level" returned by some routines... in other words, when we're detected TRUE we've then looked at the value of the variable returning TRUE... depending on that value, we then branched based on the level of TRUE... i don't know that we've done anything like this with any FPC code, though... the above was mostly in TP/BP stuffs and came in very very handy when it was implemented in our code... -- NOTE: No off-list assistance is given without prior approval.

Under which (host) operating system does that FP run? i was trying to do this on the vista installation... the goal was mainly for conformity and uniformity... The OS/2 compiler and IDE (and Makefiles, etc.) are configured to use shorter version of the $FPCTARGET macro (only the target OS without the CPU platform), yeah, i figured that out when i went to changing the target and saw how $FPCTARGET was being filled in in the exe output path... because on one hand, OS/2 isn't supported on multiple CPU types anyway, not even powerpc? ;) on the other hand, this allows compilation also on OS/2 installations using FAT drives (i.e. without LFN) yeah, i never had any luck with trying to use FPC on fat drives... not the OS/2 version or the DOS version so i abandoned that and went back to full HPFS and only the native OS/2 flavor of FPC... *but* i do have some things that i need to be able to do in a DOS set up but i've been falling back to my TP/BP 6/7 stuff for that... making the switches back and forth is pretty tough to do at times... and also e.g. assembling and linking of programs compiled for the GO32v2 target using the GO32v2 as.exe and ld.exe under OS/2 (which wouldn't be possible otherwise, because they wouldn't see directories with long names under OS/2). i've never used GO32 stuff... i really don't need it for my DOS stuff, either... that's another reason why i drop back to my old BP/TP installs... GO32 just adds too much that i don't need for those projects (eg: DOS BBS Doors)... I'd be interested to understand the particular scenario you want to cover. as above, just uniformity to make scripting packaging easier... or so i thought... plus attempting to cross-compile... i've never done that and wanted to see if it could be done easily... so i found the win32->OS2 binutils and added them to my vista installation and gave it a go... that's when i realized that i need to adjust the paths to use some sort of TARGETOS and TARGETCPU stuff so i started playing around and trying things since there's nothing available (documentation) that's worth a darn telling how to do this... at least nothing i found that a beginner could easily understand and that was oriented to winwhatever as the base platform (for now) with basically the same for doing similar for other platforms... As an example, if you e.g. access some shared network drive with your sources from multiple operating systems and want to use one installation of e.g. the OS/2 files used for all of Linux, Win32 and OS/2, you could set up symlinks (Linux) / junctions (MS Windows) on the file server so that 'i386-os2' used on one platform points to the same physical place as 'os2' used by the OS/2 installation. Note that this scenario is not officially supported by FPC (although workable with the minimum effort outlined above). yeah, i don't have anything here that i can do that with... especially nothing SAMBA or NETBEUI styled... the OS/2 box is on another network from the other machines and those protocols are not routable... i used to do such a long time ago but i've separated things so that the servers are separate from the workstations for obvious security reasons ;) -- NOTE: No off-list assistance is given without prior approval.

I don't know where it comes from. I thought the makefile maybe auto added an units directory at the toplevel, but I tested, and it doesn't. So something strange is going on on that system, but I can't reproduce. strange on my system? i don't know... i rarely have problems updating and compiling... especially since i got my scripts coded a year or two back to handle it all for me... FWIW: the scripts are based on the ones in the wiki (will have to hunt for them) where fpc (and lazarus) are built and installed into their directories that are updated from the repository... they are bootstrapped from binaries in the "c:\freepascal\binutils" directory (hereafter called the bootstrap directory)... these FPC and Lazarus installs started as clean pulls from the repository and they were built using the bootstrap files to get a working installation which has been being updated ever since then... the binaries for the bootstrap were all pulled from the repository some time back... currently they are all from 2013 May 21 so i guess they are FPC 2.6.2 based as i did save the previous ppc386 as ppc386-2.6.0.exe and the current one is copied as ppc386-2.6.2.exe... perhaps i need to update that bootstrap directory's contents from the repository again??

[fpc-devel] OS2 DOSCALLS and timezone
i've a need to work with the OS2 timezone parameter in the OS' system clock... i'm not understanding a few things and haven't been able to figure out the code path so i'm writing here to ask for some assistance... if this should be in the user's list, please let me know and i'll move the conversation over there... ok, so... if i do not use the doscalls unit, the timezone parameter returns as 0 (zero) instead of -1 when it is uninitialized... if i use the doscalls unit, i get -1 as desired... now the problem comes with how to set the timezone to the locale the system is located in... i know that FPC on OS2 uses EMX for some/most/all of its accesses... rummaging through the EMX code shows that it explicitly does not allow a write to the timezone field... the EMX code also shows another field, dstflag, which appears to be forced to 0 (zero) but i have not been able to access this field... additional rummaging in the EMX code shows that the timezone field in time.h is made of two ints, tz_minuteswest and tz_dsttime but again, i don't know how to get to them... the thing about all of this is that work in the OS was left unfinished... there is supposed to be an app (clock most likely) that handles setting the timezone stuff when necessary and adjusting it when daylight saving switches on and off... there was one (worldclock IIRC) that used to do this but it is no longer included in eCS... peter moylan wrote a tool, TZSet, that checks and sets the OS clock's timezone field based on the TZ environment variable but this tool has to be executed more often than just on boot... preferably daily as soon after 0200 (or whenever one's local DST changes) as possible... my idea was to see about writing a small clock tool to handle this like the no longer included clock tool did... i'm not sure what needs to be done to gain access to the dstflag or the timezone structs and am not really sure what they are supposed to contain... any assistance in this would be helpful... i can get some source code in modula-2 which i understand is similar to pascal but then i'm still stuck with accessing everything thru EMX or, some how, directly into the system which is likely a bit more dangerous for my playing... -- NOTE: No off-list assistance is given without prior approval.

[fpc-devel] bootstrapping FPC trunk
i have used (some time ago) the wiki page about pulling FPC and Lazarus from SVN and bootstrapping them... i have scripts that follow that process on my winboxen pretty closely so that i don't have to remember all the details... one of the steps was to make a directory binutils and inside there was place a ppc386.exe... what i have in there now is the 2.6.0 exe... then there is a directory inside binutils named i386-win32 what i guess are the build tools... eg: ar.exe, as.exe, cmp.exe. diff.exe, gdb.exe and so on... my usable installs of FPC and Lazarus remain inside the directories that are created and SVN managed specifically for them... so my questions are 1. can FPC 2.6.0 (bootstrap) be used to bootstrap trunk or do i need to replace my current binutils/ppc386.exe with the 2.6.2 one? 2. do i need to update my binutils/i386-win32 directory? everything in there is physically dated 21 May 2012 which i guess is when i reinstalled everything from scratch the last time... the SVN URL that i used for that directory is http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/branches/fixes_2_6/install/binw32 and and according to the properties, it looks like it is actually dated 11 Dec 2011... thanks for your time and attention :) -- NOTE: No off-list assistance is given without prior approval.

Re: [fpc-devel] Delphi anonymous methods
It is as I thought about closures before. But this is useless without capturing of variables by value. During creation of anonymous method you *can not bind any values* to it. Anonymous method have only references to captured variables. Pascal don't allows to create static variables inside function like in c-like languages. So you also not able to create unique static variable which available only to one instance of same anonymous method. Even if implementation will create many separate objects for one anonymous function then all instances will be equivalent. Because all instances will refer to same data. i'm trying to understand what you mean by > Pascal don't allows to create static variables inside function like in c-like > languages. i've done something that i think is what you speak of but it was in Borland's Turbo Pascal... at least TP6... i don't remember how we did it though and can't find any sample code in my library :( what happened is that the value did not get cleared between invocations of the routine and subsequent executions could use the value already stored... this breaks, of course, if the memory area for the routine is cleared first... ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

It won't help, we don't change the ppu version for fun but when the format changes. So the only way that I see for using protected code and keep compatibility with any version of FPC, is implementing it in libraries. what are you calling a library? you could also use OBJ files which get linked in... i used to do this with TP5 (at least that far back)... i suppose an OBJ file can be called a "library" in the general sense of the word ;) ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

Re: [fpc-devel] Synapse hangs in ARM-Linux
On 1/28/2013 05:47, Michael Schnell wrote:
I tried to reproduce this with a more simple project, just accessing a
non-existing IP address, but I found that while on Windows here Synapse issues a
time out (after some seconds, exactly like when the Heating Controller fails to
answer), when compiling for Linux (PC and ARM) the error message is "HR_Error:
113,No route to host" and is issued immediately and thus not involves a timeout
(and no hanging on ARM).
i'm trying to make sure i'm following along here because i'm also using synapse
for a project...
using a "slightly modified" testhttp (that came with synapse, attached) and
attempting to connect via http to a non-existant IP in my network, i get a 0
result code, empty result string and "Connection reset by peer" string on my
winwhatever box but that may be due to a firewall proxy that is injected into
all http streams on that winwhatever system... on my os/2 eCS2 box, i get 500
result code, empty result string and "Connection refused" string... however, if
i try using a non-existent hostname, both return 500 result code, empty result
string and "Host not found" string...
i would suggest that trying to use a non-existent IP or host is not the way you
want to go to test this... the results are not going to be what you should be
getting from the heating controller connection when it fails...
your "No route to host" actually sounds plausible if there is, in fact, no route
to the IP you have chosen... that also sounds like there's no default routing
gateway defined for networking traffic headed out of the local network... when i
test trying to access a non-existent IP outside my local network, my winwhatever
box reports "Connection reset by peer" (as above) and my OS/2 eCS2 box reports
"Connection timed out"...
suffice it to say that synapse's error codes are not always they seem to be,
unfortunately... run testhttp and you'll see what i mean... i'm pretty sure
there are other result codes and strings that i've not been told about or
discovered yet... oh, and yes, this testhttp will use ssl libraries if they
exist so you can test against https as well as http ;)

My point was if I come from Ansi knowing MyString[1] retrieves first character and know nothing about Unicode, I might still think it continues to retrieve first character in Unicode regardless of string encoding +10~ this is something that i'm having to deal with with 30+ years of pascal programing... i'm still trying to wrap my head around this GUI coding stuff... while i do have some similar experiences with other languages from way back (dBIII, dBIV and such that have/had forms) forms style coding is still alien to me... i'm used to simply clearing an 80x25 screen and then drawing my next screen... if i need to easily return to a previous screen, i might redraw it or i might restore it from a saved buffer and "blit" it back onto the screen... i don't know the difference between thisstring and thatstring and there are times that this is one of the worst problems i face... my first hurdle was clearing the 255 character strings that i'm so used to dealing with... it used to be that i used a custom written ACSIIZ convertor routine but now it seems that these are in the run time libraries and i need only to choose the proper strings to convert between... even then, it can be quite the chore :? (RTL handles that). It is as you say wrong, therefore the need to adapt the code by developer if he uses such access, but people might don't know this. Having UTF-16 RTL might help them in a sense they they will never have to learn, until they deal with characters outside of the BMP. moew old school stuff here... a BMP is a windows style graphic... what are you guys calling a BMP??? and agreeing (fully!) there really should be some sort of "hidden(?)" overrides taking place so that folks like myself don't really have to worry about this stuff... but then again, maybe? i dunno? i'm not sure, these days, after a year+, if i'm no the right track or not... Whether it's utf8, utf16, utf32 or any other future encoding the code should work the same. Very new functions are required for dealing with *logical* characters, in every MBCS encoding. Hence the need to remove indexed access like MyString[1]. removing that is not a GoodThing is it? really? as i say above, it would seem to me to be best for the library to handle all of this stuff in the same way that borland handled similar things way back when... on the one hand, it would seem easy enough to handle with automatic overrides but then again, i may not be thinking of things in the same way as others used to working with this OO oriented method of coding... ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

[fpc-devel] bug: install directions for OS/2 2.4.2
thump! thump! is this thing turned on? after unzipping the os2242ffull.zip to a temporary directory and reading the readme.txt file for installation instructions, it says to run the install executable and to make sure to update the PATH and LIBPATH entries as noted in the install program... the problem is that the install program only says to update the PATH... it took me about an hour to figure out what to update the LIBPATH with for almost perfect operation... i say "almost perfect" because i installed on my H: drive but i get notices like "Unknown command 'H:'"... for instance, the first time i ran make in H:\fpc\demo\text, i saw similar but everything seemed to compile just fine... now when i run make in that directory, the unknown command is all i see and nothing else maybe telling me that everything is already up to date... OS/2 Warp 3 Connect with FP40something 4OS2 2.51 as OS2_SHELL 4DOS 7.50 as COMSPEC i also have the full EMX 0.9d environment installed... is there going to be a problem with having H:\fpc\dll in LIBPATH? do i really need that? can't i move a few of those other dlls to my existing EMX libpath location? is this the proper list for these questions? is this the proper list to ask about installing or configuring for cross compiling capabilities?? ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
