[fpc-pascal] CopyFile for FreePascal without Lazarus?
Is there a copyfile for Freepascal I can use without installing Lazarus? I found: http://wiki.freepascal.org/CopyFile but that seems to only work with Lazarus. I just want to make a copy of a file into a different directory and maintain it's timestamps etc Any suggestions?

Re: [fpc-pascal] FPCJVM Android and libbass.so calling issue
Thank you very much for yours professional advices. So really, if I want to call native .so libraryes, I have to use Lamw or Pandroid. Lamw uses JNI interface perfectly. And t is only sad for Me, that it is not easily possible to create stdcontrols.pas unit, which would be compatible with this project so I could create some simple GUI with no need to specify object position numbers. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Calling native code from Java needs to happen through JNI (Java Native Interface). I have no experience with it, but it will never be possible to just take an existing Pascal interface to a library and compile that for the JVM target. Even if it would compile, the result could never work. Additionally, JLSystem.loadLibrary expects the library name without the '.so' extension.

[fpc-pascal] FPCJVM Android and libbass.so calling issue
Dear specialists,
Please does somebody of you know, why is it impossible to call
libbass.so in JVM Android mode if external command is being used for
this task?
Because I Am getting run-time error:
error
Failed resolution of libbass.so
OK
I have analysed bass.pas unit and I have found that The following
command is being used to call functions and procedures from this .so
library.
Here is AN example from bass.pas
function BASS_SetConfig(option, value: DWORD): BOOL; {$IFDEF
MSWINDOWS}stdcall{$ELSE}cdecl{$ENDIF}; external bassdll;
So do I have to replace external command by The command
JLSystem.loadLibrary('libbass.so');
But when I have done this, compiler have informed Me about other errors
and compilation aborted with fatal warning.
bass.pas(725,101) Warning: Calling convention directive ignored: "StdCall"
bass.pas(733,102) Warning: Calling convention directive ignored: "StdCall"
bass.pas(745,126) Warning: Calling convention directive ignored: "StdCall"
bass.pas(757,121) Warning: Calling convention directive ignored: "StdCall"
bass.pas(780,79) Warning: Calling convention directive ignored: "StdCall"
Fatal: Compilation aborted
Bass.pas unit which I try to use in JVM mode and Android emeulation is here.
https://github.com/r1me/LAMWBassStreamPlayback/blob/master/jni/bass.pas
It is really interesting developers adventure. Because originally The
unit have been created for FPC ARMHF or other similar target and
cthreads unit is being used by The app, which calls bass.pas unit. So
The question is, if I have chance to call libbass.so in JVM mode or if I
can only dream about it?
Thank you very much for yours help. Libbass.so have been developed by
using SSL to play live streams so it do not allocate too much of RAM, it
can play live streams 24 hours A day without crashes and author deeply
know C language and he is constantly hardly work on this library. So its
quality is better and better.
It is even possible to use this library for making sound games for
visually impaired, because it can load many short sounds without delay
and distortion.

True, there probably is no direct correlation between multiple monitors and professional developers. But G*D damn, having multiple monitors are super useful when it comes to desktop management. I started off with 2 monitors and 3 virtual desktops (same apps always on same virtual desktops), and for the last 5 years have been working on three monitors (hardly ever use virtual desktops these days). 2 monitors were already a massive upgrade and 3 seems to be the sweet spot for me (desk space and peripheral vision). My setup: 21" vertical on the left (1080x1920) 27" landscape in the middle (2560x1440) 21" vertical on the right (1080x1920) All aligned on the top edge of the monitors. e-mail client, web browser, console windows, help files (eg: pdfs, chm or inf) are normally on the outer monitors, and development tools are always in the middle. I absolutely love this setup!

The tool that generates the declarations for the external classes cannot determine whether a method is new or inherited from a parent class, so it always adds "virtual" instead of "override" in case it's an overriding method. That is where the hint comes from. The actual classes are implemented in Java/Dalvik and part of the Android class libraries, and are correct. If you would do the same with a class implemented in Pascal, then the compiler would print an error instead of a hint, because then the compiled code would not work as expected.

[fpc-pascal] Really Strange Speed Problems - FPC & Neural Networks
Hello, For the past 10 days, I've seen really strange speed problems at my end. In 2 Ubuntu virtualbox VMs (16.04 and 18.04), my neural networks are running at half speed than usual. The host is a WIN 10 computer. Neural networks are both CPU and memory bound. Therefore, there is something affecting either CPU or memory. Testing on Google Cloud, the speed is normal. This made me think that the speed problem was local to the testing environment. Just for peace of mind, I sent a string concatenation algorithm implemented in FPC to a friend to measure speed. To my shock, the same speed problem I was experiencing at my end is also happening at his end. This makes me believe that my problem isn't isolated. Trying to find why things are slower at my end, I reverted my code to the code I had 4 months ago and also reverted the compiler to the same version I was using before (Stable 3.0.4). There was no luck. Therefore, something really strange is going on: - It's not a compilation problem. I moved binaries from an environment that doesn't have the speed problem to an environment that has the speed problem and I can verify the problem even with a binary built from a good machine. - So far, it affects Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 (I haven't tested in other distros). WIN10 is good. - A binary that works well on Google Cloud is slow with my own virtualbox VMs 16.04 and 18.04. - It also affects at least 1 notebook with Ubuntu 16.04 installed as host OS. - My CPU reports: cpu_meltdown spectre_v1 spectre_v2 spec_store_bypass l1tf - String concatenation is also affected making me to suspect about something wrong at malloc/libc. - Numerical results from neural networks are correct. So far, it's a speed problem. My question to you is: if anyone from you suspects that something might be wrong at OS level affecting either your CPU speed or malloc/libc/memory at your end that might be related to what I'm seeing here, please share. I have algorithms running at my end from a quarter to half of the original speed. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
