Thanks a lot, guys, perhaps I'll put some more effort in converting my set of original OS/2 2.0 floppies into a working Virtualbox image ;) (Did manage to read the floppies and I'm about halfway there but won't bother the list with OT horror stories) ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Together with motaz' Lazarus book (see thread on Laz list) perhaps we could end up with an open source, collaborative effort that mirrors Marco Cantu's Essential Pascal & Essential Delphi...

Please, use our bug tracker at http://bugs.freepascal.org for filing it there. The link to the bug tracker is also available from our homepage (either search for "bug tracker" on http://www.freepascal.org, or just have a look to the end of section General in the navigation panel at the left side). You'll have to register in the bug tracker first ('Signup for a new account') if you haven't done so previously, or log in with your existing username and password.

[fpc-pascal] UTF-8 decoding
What does Utf8Decode() do if the input is incomplete because it's arriving slowly over a serial or telnet connection? By analogy with StrToInt() etc., is there be a TryUtf8Decode() which sets a flag if the parameter is well-formed? -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues] ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
Re: [fpc-pascal] Linker Error: what does this mean?
Sorry, I forgot how to file a bug report. Either somebody explains me, please, or uses this information: I created a smaller test program which produces the same error. The test files can be found here: http://mewal.com/test.zip (161 kB) or http://mewal.com/test.7z (21 kB) If someone wants to have it, of course I can also mail the files.

I'm glad that the external linker helped. Indeed, slowness of the external linker is one of reasons for using the internal one by default. If the external and internal linkers behave differently here, it would be the best to file a bug report so that the internal linker may get fixed. However, it is necessary to include a (reference to) source code allowing reproduction of the issue.
