[fpc-pascal] ROPS and latest FPC compiler (svn)

2006-10-31 Thread Alexandre Leclerc

Hi all,

I'm running into strang ROPS behaviour when using the latest compiler
in svn. Is there a compiler switch required for it to work ok? Using
revision 3823 I have no problems.

The parameters in the script when passed to actual FPC code is not
working well.. this was an old bug... parameter order or I don't know
what...

Anyone has any clue for me?

That are 1300+ revisions. Try doing a binary search. That will take 11 tests.

Update to rev. 3823+650 e.g. something like 4500 (svn up -r 4500). Try 
with this one, if it fails try with the rev. in the middle of 3823 and 
4500. If it works with 4500, try the rev. in the middle of 4500 and 
HEAD. And so on ... with 11 of such tests you find the revision causing 
you trouble.

You know binary search right ? Use svn diff -r X, with X varying between
working and newest revision, until you found X-1 working, X not.

Use the binrary search algorithm to find the the revision that break 
it. Everytime update svn with "svn up -r " to update to the 
revision to test.

Ok, ok, I know what you guys mean now... Yeah, this is the 'QuickSort'
algo (how I use to call it) and I'm using this technique too. I did
not know what was 'binary search'. :)

Best regards.

Yes and it solved my 'Self' problem (as you can read on rops forum).
But when I compile with latest compiler my script is not behaving
completely right... Just with a different compiler version. :(

The passing function prarameters are not good... this was an issue
couple months ago that Carlo fixed. But now it comes back. Maybe this
was a fix on a FPC bug? or an FPC bug has been introduced...

The issue are the parameters when calling a Delphi function from the script.

Well that was as expected... I'd be strange if it *did* work ;-)

Ahh, cheers. That worked (current installation now on OpenSuSe 10.1 -
Ubuntu upgrade went haywire).

One other query... During installation there was reference to a
TextmodeIDE. I take it this is supposed to be like the MS-Windows IDE
and like the TurboPascal critter from all those years ago, verdade? If
this is so, where does it live in the filesystem? Not that coding in
vi(m)/emacs/pico etc is a problem as such...

All the best,


Lev
