The patch is good! I was able compile the gpc.exe now and all seems to work. Many thanks for catching this!
... but apparently it is. I don't quite understand why. If you can find it out, please do, otherwise it'd seem a bit like Voodoo to me. (Anyway, what the patch does is certainly not wrong.) Or is mingw_scan actually called after init_gpc_options?
Hmmm, gdb shows in the bt that it crashes in mingw_scan because the invalid pointer which was called from main, however this was with a non debugging version, maybe there was some information lost.
Release time, I'll offer a complete GCC-3.3.1 suite for Cygwin 1.5.x, including C, C++, ObjC, Fortran, Ada, Java and now Pascal. I package them in several packages, one for the core/backend and one for every frontend. Is it possible to upload them to gnu-pascal.de too?
You can use the upload page http://gnu-pascal.de/www/upload.html or send it by mail to me. If you plan to do this regularly, you can get an account on the server (send me an ssh public key by PM). If you haven't done, you might want to coordinate with the Chief. AFAIK, he's more interested in Mingw, but still has also Cygwin binaries on his pages.
Many thanks. But it turns out that I'll maintain the complete GCC suite for Cygwin now and I can uppload it directly to cygwin.com which will distribute it to the Cygwin mirrors worldwide.
So we'll talk more often in future if I include the Pascal frontend in the release;-)
May I redirect Pascal specific questions, success reports and bugreports to this list then?
This is also true. System conditionals are currently broken with gcc-3.3.1, and they're particularly necessary on Dos/Windows systems. With some information Waldek found, it might be possible to provide a work-around soon, and perhaps a real fix in the next release.
Where can I find some more infos about this?
I would like to run some tests witjh the compiler now after it seems to work for me it would be nice to see what works and what doesn't work. Is it sufficient to run make check?
If you want to run only the GPC tests, you can do `make pascal.check' in the gcc subdirectory.
Great, I'll try that now.
