GPC and UNIX Curses
by Peter Gerwinski 25 Mar '97

25 Mar '97

According to Ronald Perrella: > There are two name in Curses that are different only > by their capitalization. One is a variable declared as extern. > The other is a function. Use the `asmname' directive to access them. Their *Pascal* names must of course differ. > example: > > /* in C */ > extern int COLORS; > > extern int colors(); > > (* in Pascal *) Var ColorVar: __asmname__ 'COLORS' Integer; Function ColorFunc: Integer; asmname 'colors'; Sorry for the underscores and the different syntax for variables and functions. I already suggested to replace `asmname' with something like `external name', Var ColorVar: Integer; external name 'COLORS'; Function ColorFunc: Integer; external name 'colors'; but I did not yet work on this. (See the GPC list archives, starting with 7 Sep 1996, for a discussion about pros and contras for different ideas for the syntax for external name specification.) Hope this helps, Peter Dipl.-Phys.

GPC and UNIX Curses
by Ronald Perrella 25 Mar '97

25 Mar '97

HI, I have tried to interface GPC with the Curses system and I am running into a problem with names: There are two name in Curses that are different only by their capitalization. One is a variable declared as extern. The other is a function. example: /* in C */ extern int COLORS; extern int colors(); (* in Pascal *) var COLORS : integer; {can I do this???} procedure colors;c; I am trying to interface GPC to Curses but I don't know how to pull this one off. Help! -- Ronald Perrella perrella(a)mindspring.com Roswell, Georgia, USA.

Here a sample (gpc: Internal compiler error: program gpc1 got fatal signal 11) program TestConformantArrays; procedure Test1(var a: array[j..k: integer] of real); var i: integer; begin for i := j to k do a[i] := 0.0; end; var a1: array[0..9] of real; begin Test1(a1); end.

Haluaisin koittaa ohjelmointia. Onko Gnu Pascal aloittelioille? Olen kuullut että Pascal olisi helppo kieli ja hyvä. Toivoisin että saisin vastauksen. T: Morgan Kurtto Ruotsi

Hi == I have installed GNU Pascal compiler, apparently without any problem. bash# dpkg -i gpc_2.0-3.deb (Reading database ... 23654 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace gpc (using gpc_2.0-3.deb) ... Unpacking replacement gpc ... Setting up gpc ... bash# dpkg -i libgpc2_2.0-3.deb (Reading database ... 23654 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace libgpc2 (using libgpc2_2.0-3.deb) ... Unpacking replacement libgpc2 ... Setting up libgpc2 ... bash# ldconfig but when I try to use it ... bash$ gpc Ackerman.p ld: cannot open -lgpc: No such file or directory bash$ can you help me? Thanks. -- At\'e breve =========== Pedro Quaresma de Almeida Departamento de Matem\'atica Faculdade de Ci\^encias e Tecnologia Universidade de Coimbra P-3000 COIMBRA, PORTUGAL e-mail: pedro(a)mat.uc.pt url: http://www.mat.uc.pt/~pedro/

Forward decl
by Stephen Lindholm 21 Mar '97

21 Mar '97

I seem to be having trouble with the forward attrbute for procedures. The problem is intermittant and I can't narrow it down very easily to a short test rogram. Has anyone else had this difficulty? I'll continue trying to see examtly what's wrong. (It could be a problem on my end.)

Re: Two bugs

According to Tomas Srb: > procedure Gogo(S:String; var SOut:Str255); > begin > WriteLn(' Before Error '); > SOut:='aha'; { ! ?GPC runtime error: runtime error (#-1) ! } > WriteLn(' After Error '); > end; Indeed! Thank you for the report; I will gogo and hunt this bug ... > [...] > S:=Gogo(S); { ! No one call Gogo bat three calls ! } > WriteLn(I); { ! I=3 I!=0 } That's strange because this bug was fixed *before* gpc-2.0 was released; it was present in gpc-1.2 or before. I cannot reproduce it with my current development version, so this bug should disappear when you take a current alpha version of GPC. Look at ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/alpha/ Hope this helps, Peter Dipl.-Phys.

Re: Pascal Compiler Bug
by Peter Gerwinski 20 Mar '97

20 Mar '97

According to Gareth Wilson: > The following code, especially the Arrays, causes GPC1.EXE to page fault. I > think this is a bug of the compiler because if I comment them out the > compiler runs (complaining about invalid reference to Colours, Cmds, etc.) Yes, this was an error in GPC. It is corrected in recent Alpha versions of GPC. Look at ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/alpha/ However there are still known problems with initializers. For example array indices and field names are ignored in initializers; the components of a structured variable are always initialized in order. Hope this helps, Peter Dipl.-Phys.
