OK, now I get gpc: Internal compiler error: program gpc1 got fatal signal 6 *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `soil_h2o.o' Being a novice, this is highly likely to be something pretty dumb.

GPC list has moved
by Peter Gerwinski 22 Apr '99

22 Apr '99

Hello all, the move of the GPC mailing list has been completed now. `gpc(a)hut.fi' (and `gpc-request(a)hut.fi') does still work and is forwarded to the new list, but the new official address of the list is `gpc(a)gnu.de'. To subscribe to or to unsubscribe from the GPC mailing list please send email to `majordomo(a)gnu.de' (or `gpc-request(a)gnu.de' which makes no difference). The subject is ignored, but the body can contain commands to the `majordomo' program, for instance: help --> request an email that tells you more about how to talk with majordomo subscribe gpc peter(a)gerwinski.de --> subscribe unsubscribe gpc peter(a)gerwinski.de --> unsubscribe Those of you who are only interested in announcements and not in discussions can unsubscribe from the `gpc' list and instead subscribe to the `gpc-announce' list. (Announcements will appear on both lists, but on `gpc-announce' there will be _only_ announcements.)

gpc compiler error
by C.P.Osborne 22 Apr '99

22 Apr '99

I am trying out the 2.1-beta version of gpc, in order to take advantage of its ability to handle the Turbo Pascal 'Assign' function. However, on compiling (a numerical model) on a unix solaris operating system, I get the following message: gpi-hash.c:406: failed assertion `rni == num_items' gpc: Internal compiler error: program gpc1 got fatal signal 6 *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `medrush' The programme compiles OK with the last (2.0, I think) release of gpc (but crashes - though that's a whole new problem!). Does anyone have any ideas?

pascal to C++
by Peter Coates 22 Apr '99

22 Apr '99

I am looking at using the front end of the GPC as a starting point for a Pascal to C++ converter. I am aware that there are pascal to C converters in existance, but the code they produce is in general code that only a C compiler can understand. My intension is to produce maintainable code, and I am helped by the fact that the starting point is a particular body of code over which I have some control and can be hacked before and after if necessary. What I would like (besides advice and guidance) is a good description of the intermediate data structure generated by the front end of the GPC (and GCC) compilers. A few months ago (when I was first considering this) I found a wonderful web site (in Sweden, I think) that described this beatifully. Since then, however, this computer has been upgraded, rebuilt, and generally hacked around and I have lost the link. Help? Peter. ----- "Time is an illusion. Launch times doubly so"

patches for egcs 1.1.2
by Maurice Lombardi 22 Apr '99

22 Apr '99

Hi all I have tried to install gpc on a Linux system for egcs 1.1.2. It failed beause of missing patches for egcs 2.91.66. Do you have them? I have been surprised because Delorie announced a beta version of egcs 1.1.2 for djgpp which includes sources and binaries for gpc. In his distribution there is no patch for 2.91.66 (only those in your current distribution gpc-19990118.tar.gz). I have not yet tried to install the djgpp binaries.

Whoops, meant to send this to the list. >I am looking at using the front end of the GPC as a starting point for a >Pascal to C++ converter.

There's quite a good Pascal to C converter, called p2c, at http://www.synaptics.com/people/daveg/ This does quite a good job of producing readable C, and has a switch to make it C++ compatible. Yours helpfully, Richard.

Testing: You should get this mail _twice_

Re: internal error: duplicate constructor

From my reading of the docs, this *SHOULD* be OK. The C compiler does not have to be rebuilt. However, the GCC sources are patched while making GPC, and parts of them are recompiled. I suppose you did so, otherwise you wouldn't have got so far. > gpc builds and installs OK, compilation of the demos appears fine, but I > get the following message when running the built programs: > > bash> gpc --automake -Wall demoproc.pas -o demoproc > bash> ./demoproc > internal error: duplicate constructor > bash> That's interesting. I got this message when playing with a dynamically linked RTS (run time system). Apparently, the way linking works on your platform makes it occur with static linking as well. (BTW, the fact that noone else has noticed this problem doesn't mean it doesn't exist for others. The units, which cause the problem, are relatively new, and it might be that noone has tried to use them or to compile the demo programs on the Alpha before.) Anyway, this error is nothing serious. It was meant as a sanity check for something else long time ago, so in fact it's safe now to remove this error message. A patch (which will also be in the next release) is appended below. > I have tried installing the prebuilt binary, but it seems to require > that gcc is installed into the same tree, which it isn't on our system, > and so attempts to compile fail. Yes, the automake expects this. We've thought about this problem, so probably some future versions will accept any GCC installed somewhere. For now, if you really need it, you can try symlinking cc1 and cpp from the installed GCC to the GPC directory (<prefix>/lib/gcc-lib/<platform>/<version>). Of course, that's a bit of a kludge...

Re: Result: STRAWPOLL: GPC newsgroup

Perhaps you need to do the strawpoll again but announce it to the comp.lang.pascal group as well. It would reach a wider audience then. Nick.

CfV: Move the GPC list? Create an announcement list?
by Peter Gerwinski 19 Apr '99

19 Apr '99

Hello, while the STRAWPOLL about the creation of a newsgroup is still going on, there are yet two other subjects to vote about which we have discussed recently: * Shall we move the GPC mailing list to another place, gpc(a)gnu.de, where it can be maintained automatically? (The fact that gpc(a)hut.fi is maintained manually has caused long delays of subscriptions in the past.) * Shall we create a separate, moderated GPC mailing list gpc-announce(a)gnu.de for announcements? (I can act as the moderator if noone rejects this. Since I am sending most of the announcements anyway, this would be quite natural.:-) Again I ripped off a Usenet CfV ballot. Please fill out the form below and reply it to peter-votes(a)gerwinski.de (Reply-To header is set). Do not send votes to the GPC mailing list; only discussion should go here. Also please do not confuse the ongoing STRAWPOLL and this CfV. ;-) Greetings, Peter -- Peter Gerwinski, Essen, Germany, http://home.pages.de/~Peter.Gerwinski/ Maintainer GNU Pascal - http://home.pages.de/~GNU-Pascal/ - gpc-19990118 PGP key on request - 6C 94 45 BE 28 A4 96 - 0E CC E9 12 47 25 82 75 *** Vote against SPAM! ********* http://www.politik-digital.de/spam/ *** 8< ------------------------------------------------------------- Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC, 18 Apr 1999.
