You're really picking your fights, aren't you? :) The textmode IDE is
probably the least maintained part of FPC currently, and Linux/SPARC
is not exactly the most used release either :)
[GRIN] Yes, and I'm the one trying to get to grips with the IDE "for the
common good" starting with finding out exactly what files are being
built into it on the different platforms- hence the Perl filter.
If SPARC is of any continuing relevance it's because it's possible to
get fairly large systems dirt-cheap right now, I've been very quiet on
this over the last few months specifically because I was trying to get
to grips with the IDE issue... I didn't want to say anything until I was
confident of my facts.
Note that the code is correct: it's output the Hello World message
even though subsequently the debugger is confused.
d48656c = #13'Hel'. gdb on SPARC is trying to dereference the string
itself. I've fixed this in r13813 in trunk.
0d48. Well spotted :-) OK, I'll get back onto that as soon as I've got a
couple more live jobs off my desk.
Apologies that once again I've taken months getting back onto this. I
checked the code but there was still a problem, however I think that
there's a possibility that I somehow screwed up getting the most
up-to-date version (I don't claim great experience with SVN etc.). I
took a bit of a look at the generated code using -al but I really need
to get getting 2.4.0 onto the various development machines and re-test.
One question if I may: am I correct in believing that I need to generate
the compiler with EXTDEBUG before -an works? Are there any undesirable
side effects to doing this?
