The Lazarus sources contain units to read/write XML using UTF8 strings. The units are based on the fcl-xml units. The widestrings were replaced with UTF8 Ansistrings. lazarus/components/lazutils/laz2_xml*. The units work standalone. You don't need Lazarus for them.

Please ask Lazarus question on the Lazarus lists. PostMessage is a WinAPI function that sends an uint, and two pointer sized integers to a Windows Handle with a queue, even to another process. See here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms644944%28v=vs.85%29.aspx The LCL emulates some parts of PostMessage on other widget sets. TApplication.QueueAsyncCall on the other side allows to call a method in the main thread with an optional data pointer. And the call can be removed from the queue.

You can give this directive multiple times to add all needed paths.
Or you can pass the unit paths via -Fu in Geany.

I'm not sure if every reader knows why this example works.
The number should be lower or equal the length of the
shortest string to avoid running out of bounds.
The 255 looks as if it is ok to pass a number bigger
than the length of the strings.
For example this creates an AV on x86_64:
AnsiStrLIComp('A','B',100);

It depends on what you do with the sources. Probably it will work for you. I'm not sure what happens when you now uninstall one of them. The cleanest solution is: uninstall both and install only one of them.

[fpc-pascal] the unexplained 666
Hi, Today I stumbled (again) over TFileStream and it contains the constant 438: constructor TFileStream.Create(const AFileName: string; Mode: Word); begin Create(AFileName,Mode,438); end; You need several searches to find out what the 438 actually is. For example its fpdoc page does not explains it: http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/rtl/classes/tfilestream.create.html Same for the called FileCreate: http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/rtl/sysutils/filecreate.html Under Windows the Rights are not used. Under Unix it calls fpOpen, which only tells about "permissions": http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/rtl/baseunix/fpopen.html Then it calls 'FPC_SYSC_OPEN', which under Linux calls syscall 'open', which after a search reveals, that the mode is a bit field using the S_I* constants, which are usually written in binary, octal or hexadecimal. The octal value of 438 is &666, which is read/write permissions for other/group/owner. Why not write &666? Maybe some religious reasons? ;) Mattias ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

[fpc-pascal] JVM
Hi, I tried to build ppcjvm and failed.

And lazwebextra uses weblaz. This typically happens when a file was moved and the old copy was not deleted. In this case it is by design: Package lazwebextra is now an empty dummy package. See the description of the package. The two packages share the lfm files.

After some research it turns out it is something trivial. "cp -i" checks if the file is in use and if yes it does not overwrite it, even though you answered "yes". You can overwrite the file with "cp -f". Or you can remove the file and then copy.

Actually it works like TFPMemoryImage and descends from TFPCustomImage. The only difference is that it uses 4*8=32bit per pixel instead of 4*16bit. It is only a few lines of code, so if you need a different pixel format or scan lines it is really easy to create your own image class. > I need to draw text as textures also and I found an example at > http://wiki.freepascal.org/fcl-image#Drawing_text which uses > TFPMemoryImage.

Did you > mean "non-ANSI"? Sorry for the confusion. The compiler itself seems to support the Windows console codepage (file names and output), which I guess is ANSI, so more than ASCII (#32-#126), but not Unicode. fpcres seems to only support ASCII, which surprises me.

That is no problem for the MainUnit directive.
The directive tells the codetools the default start file of the scattered unit.
If the IDE has parsed a unit which uses the include file, the MainUnit directive
is ignored.
If a file is included by multiple units, you can give a common unit.
Basically it is just a convenient fallback.

[fpc-pascal] Default source encoding
Hi, According to http://wiki.freepascal.org/index.php?title=FPC_Unicode_support#String_constants "the constant strings are assumed to have code page 28591 (ISO 8859-1 Latin 1; Western European)." Is this true? Or is the compiler using the system codepage?
