I'm not responsible for this part but I'm sure that works.

 Thanks for the test.
 We have a little difference: my FPC is 2.6.1 (svn /fixes_2_6).
 The env variable was added before I start the application, always.


 and this is from command line (cmd.exe, command.exe or *shell) ??

 or in the user or system environment? i'm just trying to keep up ;)

System environment.

[fpc-pascal] Win64 and currency

2012-03-30 Thread LacaK 

Hi *,
I encounter strange thing under FPC 2.7.1 and Win64 target.
Can anybody test this program:

const
 test: array[0..0] of currency = (-10);
var
 c:currency;

begin
 c := -10;
 writeln(c);
 writeln(test[0]);
 readln;
end.


Results:
-1.00E+01
-1.00E-03

Thanks
-Laco.

[fpc-pascal] Is there a function that returns UTC time in FPC or Lazarus?

2012-03-30 Thread Frank Church 
When I get the time via the DateTime function result is adapted for
the timezone, making it an hour ahead now?

Is there a function that returns the UTC time, either as a UnixTime or
TDateTime irregardless of timezone?

Confirmed,
  if you usee -Aas and -al
you will see that
TEST
is just .quad -10
which is wrong of course...
  Using -10.0 fixes the bug for now if
you really need this correct fast.

  It would be nice if you could submit a bug report.

Note that #21091 is also about win64 and currency.

Frank,

You could search the fpc and lazarus mailing list; I know there've been
posts regarding this.
IIRC, the conclusion was that doing this is potentially very difficult
to do cross platform, keeping daylight saving changes etc in mind.

There is a separate unit that deals with this, IIRC, the wiki mentions
it somewhere..

Reinier

Re: [fpc-pascal] Custom assignment operators

2012-03-30 Thread Sven Barth 
Am 30.03.2012 17:40 schrieb Mark Morgan Lloyd 
markmll.fpc-pas...@telemetry.co.uk:

 A few weeks ago somebody (Martin?) suggested I got round an endianness
issue by doing this:

 typeWordLE= packed record b0, b1: byte; end;

 operator := (wle: WordLE): word;

 begin
 ..

 It works well, except that attempting to use an assignment inside the
operator definition immediately recurses: I've fixed this by using Move(),
with operand sizes check by assertion.

 Is it possible to tell the compiler that, for a code fragment like this,
it is under no circumstances to attempt any implicit type conversions?

No, there is no possibility. But why dies it try to do a type conversion in
the first place? Can you show your code please?

Also operator overloads should be considered from great power comes great
responsibility.

Sven

agreed... even in the TP/BP6/7 days... it depends on the setting of the local 
clock as to whether you to daylight saving display or not... i know of many that 
operate on UTC and do not do local time when viewing... it can be done but it is 
going to be a trick ;)
