Thanks.

Yes I saw that, but the original two paragraphs seem to contradict
themselves. So a clarification seemed in order. ;-)

It should say 'filename part' of paramstr(0)

I have adapted the docs.


By the way, the second paragraph in the help already contained this info.
But I've been more explicit.

[fpc-devel] Mistake in ApplicationName() documentation

2011-09-13 Thread Graeme Geldenhuys 
Hi,

Below is a quote from the documentation of the ApplicationName() function:

"Standard this is equal to the result of ParamStr(0), but it can be
customized by setting the OnGetApplicationName callback."


This seems incorrect, as the following test program shows.


--[ test1.pas ]--
program test1;

{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
uses
  Classes, Sysutils;

begin
  writeln('ParamStr(0):  <' + ParamStr(0) + '>');
  writeln('ApplicationName:  <' + ApplicationName + '>');
end.
-

Here is the console output of above program:

  $ mv test1 test1.elf64
  $ ./test1.elf64
  ParamStr(0):  
  ApplicationName:  




ApplicationName() only returns the filename portion (without paths or
extensions) of ParamStr(0).


Am I miss interpreting the documentation, are is this an actual mistake
in the docs. If the latter, then I'll create a documentation patch for
ApplicationName().



Regards,
  - Graeme -
