[fpc-devel] Bug at SHA1File function..

[Daniel Gaspary via fpc-devel]

Hi.

I reported a bug at Sha1File function:
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=38700

The FPC version I use is 3.0.4, because is the version available at
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS..

In the issue I received a reply warning that the problem is present at
FPC trunk.

So... how to proceed, create a new issue? Wait until someone edit the issue... ?

Thank you.

Thank you Mattias.

So.. Could the LazUtils Units replace the FCL-XML ones ?

 What do you mean by this ?

   I am thinking about using the same structure to convert to some text
 format.

 All you will have in common is the fcl-passrc ?

Today the Converter is dedicated to one format only: Javascript.

I was thinking about a base Pascal converter. After that, specific
converters could be implemented:

TPascalConverter = class

procedure WriteIfStatement(...); virtual;
procedure WriteWhileStatement(...); virtual;

end;

TPascalToJavascriptConverter = class(TPascalConverter)

procedure WriteIfStatement(...); override;
end;

TPascalToJSonConverter = class(TPascalConverter)
procedure WriteIfStatement(...); override;
end;

Something like that.

Yes, it would be a kind of Pascal Reader, just walking the source tree.

The conversion itself could be another class.

 But if you want to do the ground work (create a superclass for the current
 converter): Be my guest. Make sure the testsuite of the JS converter runs
 without errors.

I will think about it.

Thank you, Michael.

[fpc-devel] Pascal to Javascript - Still being Updated ? / General Conversion

[Daniel Gaspary]

Hi,

   In April 2014 Michael sent[1] a call for help about Pascal to JS conversion.

   Is it still being maintained?

   How about change to an Abstract Converter Class(interface?) ??

   I am thinking about using the same structure to convert to some text format.

   How could be the best way make the Convert Functions Return Type independent?

   Current format:

   Function ConvertStatement(El: TPasImplStatement; AContext:
TConvertContext ): TJSElement;virtual;

   Thank you,

[fpc-devel] binutils for avr 8 bit

[Daniel Sapundjiev]

Hi, 

Good day!

 

Can someone help me with the 8 bit AVR.

 

Which binutils I can use for assembler compilation and linking?

 

I see that in Arduino they use - GNU assembler (WinAVR 20081205) 2.19

 

It looks that the project for WinAVR is here -
http://www.webring.org/l/rd?ring=avr;id=59;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwinavr.sourcefor
ge.net%2F

 

But there is not much information about how to use the as.exe

[fpc-devel] XML / SAX - Removing redundancies

[Daniel Gaspary]

I have uploaded a patch[1] to remove the TSaxInputSource, it is
redundant with TXmlInputSource from XmlReader unit.

I believe the TSAXXMLReader.Parse method have almost the same
functionality of xmltextreader.TXMLTextReader.

I would like to know if and how it can be modified. The base class,
TSaxReader, needs much more changing and could affect users of the
class.

 From these points of view the best way is probably to document
 TXMLTextReader, deprecate SAX and leave it alone.

Seems to be the best alternative.

On other topic, a new StaX[1] class, using TXMLTextReader, seems need
not too many work to accomplish. Am I sub estimating  It ?

No special reason at the moment. I didn't examine TXmlTextReader so much yet.

 The interface of .net-based XML[Text]Reader and XMLWriter is IMHO
 much more straightforward and easy to use.

A xmlwriter unit, equivalent to xmlreader, would be interesting.To
have a XML writer independent of DOM.

Yes, it is. But I'm thinking about using the XPath expressions in other classes.

Maybe a TXmlTextReader descendent with support to some kind of

 I seriously doubt this is doable, since XPath works directly on the DOM tree
 ?

Is possible if TXmlReader keeps track of the it's current path. Let's say:

TMyXmlReader = class(TXmlTextReader)
private
 FPath: TStrings; //or another dedicated new CLass to keep a
list of nodes.
public
Register(XPathExpression: string; MethodToCall);
end;

At each step of processing, FPath is updated and is compared to XPathExpression.

Re: [fpc-devel] FPC/Lazarus Rebuild performance

[Daniel]

AFAIR the ATTO tool measures read and write bursts of single files X in size.

An interesting exercise is to transfer 1000 files to a USB memory
stick in 2 situations:

- Compacted in a single file, transfers at or near full USB speed.
- Spread out normally on a folder takes forever.

This happens because the time it takes to SWITCH between one file to
another is significant. Ending one operation (a single file transfer)
and begining another takes a time slice. Summing up all these start
and finish ops takes a significant time slice.

I guess this kind of behaviour is exactly what you're noticing. The
raw I/O transfer speed provided by your SSD is enough for your needs.
A faster channel won't help you. Some other factor is accounting for
your lags.

You can't really judge a storage medium just by a single benchmark
kind. The compiler will ask for your storage medium to seek files all
the time. Switching files all the time. This takes time. Much more
time than blazing through a single file like ATTO does.

 This doesn't make sense. FPC/Lazarus compiles on the faster medium longer
 (albeit only 3 sec.).

 Everything on your SSD is cached in RAM, so it's normal that both are about
 the same speed. The 3 seconds difference is probably just noise.

Subject: RE: [fpc-devel] FPC 2.0.4

 Currently we have been developing on FPC for both Windows and Linux and we
have noticed that socket communications are not working correctly under
Linux environments.
please define what you mean by not working correctly, preferally with a test
app

I apologise for been a bit vague in the original message.

It is not connecting to the windows server which is using TCP/IP.  The
Server address we use is 10.0.0.18 on Port 2.  Now we have tried various
things with this including the following:-

1) Using Synapse 37 API (Messaged these fellows already)
2) INET 0.4.0
3) SocketClient

I remember when using FPC 2.0.2 I had to fix the htons() call as it was
using a 32bit value rather than a 16bit word value.  I have checked this
code again against 2.0.4 and it seems to be ok.

From my analysis I believe there is a failure somewhere when it comes to
building the SIN IP address / resolving the address.  The port information
seems to come across correctly as a word value of 8270.

We have done pinging and trace routing to the windows machine where the
server application runs and packets are going through.  This indicates there
is NO firewall and shows that our network is working correctly.  Ethereal
0.99 shows no packets coming across to the windows machine when attempting
to connect.  The server application does not show any indication of
connection.

 I have also been advised that the netdb has issues on 2.0.4? is this
correct?
dunno i gave up on using netdb when a friend added IPV6 to the sockets
wrapper i use and needed workable IPV6 dns code.

I hope this is more helpful

Daniel Hobson.

[fpc-devel] FPC 2.0.4

[Daniel Hobson]

Hello All,



Currently we have been developing on FPC for both Windows
and Linux and we have noticed that socket communications are not working
correctly under Linux environments. I have also been advised that the netdb
has issues on 2.0.4? is this correct?



If we use FPC 2.1.1 on Windows, the socket communications
work correctly but if we drop back to 2.0.4 it then fails also. I can not
use 2.1.1 on linux or am I knowledgeable enough to get it working under linux
with Lazarus. The client application we are creating MUST be linux
environment. I was wondering the following:-



1) Is there a
patch out for this bug or a known solution on how to correct the problem so
that socket communications can work from Linux to windows?

2) When is FPC
2.1.1 expected to be released to the public? (No pressure, just a simple
question).

3) Can we
actually get the 2.1.1 development code (I know how to do this) and make it
work with Lazarus 9.19 beta (Dont know how to do) on Linux? If so, can
anybody guide me on how this can be done?



Any feedback to this mail would be greatly appreciated.



Kindest Regards,



Daniel Hobson

Even better:
One single archive containing all ppc* starting compilers - this way i
could also package it quite easily for all arches, and it would easy to
script it using ppc${ARCH} everywhere...you see?
 
 
 I don't see it. Because that package will be huge since you need a ppc for
 every cpu-os combination.

Well...then on per cpu-os combination...for example ppc linux or

Re: [fpc-devel] Packaging

[Daniel Herzog]

 I had exactly the same situation with fpc for fink and solved it exactly
 as suggested by Daniel Herzog. I would go for Individual bootstrap tar
 balls for each arch, because this saves a lot of bandwidth. I called the
 one for macosx/darwin: fpc-1.9.8.darwin.bootstrap.tar.gz. maybe it
 should be fpc-1.9.8.darwin-ppc.bootstrap.tar.gz. But since we do not
 support darwin-x86, yet, I did not consider the cpu :)
 The tar ball includes the bootstrap binary and the default fpc.cfg file.
 Is debian for linux only? If so, just the combination of linux with
 every cpu is needed, and not any combination of os and cpu. But even for
 a case of any os with any cpu, do you really think that case would be to
 much?
 What is your guess about the distribution impact through debian
 packages. I guess is that it is noticable, what actually have to wait
 and see the effect of the fink package.
 
 Best wishes

I want to package for Gentoo, which, for now, supports the following:
alpha   amd64   arm hppaia64mipsppc ppc64   ppc macos   
s390sh  sparc   x86

But the most important ones are x86, ppc and amd64. There even are devs
working on *BSD - it works, but they didnt have official releases yet afaik.

So if you just place a ppc386, ppcppc and a ppc??? somewhere that would
be perfectly fine. For now i waste your bandwidth by getting the
complete binary.tar.

 The webserver (apache2) uses the defaults from Suse 9.2. Nothing special

Quite a few now said it might be the case that it's firewall blocks all

Mine is 1442, automatically lowered to the highest value working everywhere.

I think this should be a nice solution:
bootstrap-arch-os-the version i can bootstrap with this.tar.gz

This results in:
bootstrap-386-linux-1.9.8.tar.gz containing a 1.0.10 version binary, for
example.

Please note i used 386 for arch, not x86, or something. So arch is
always a valid ppc* ending. This eases up scripting.

ping, for example, xzone.dyndns.org (our dynamic behind-dsl IP which has
a MTU lower than 1500)
 
 
 That is what I did: I pinged www.google.be from www.freepascal.org.
 and the maximum size was 1472.

If you're on freenode, query me (expose) please - and try to ping me -
since i myself can ping google with real big packages also - but not
www.freepascal.org

Re: [fpc-devel] Packaging

[Daniel Herzog]

Hi all,

In order to get fpc into portage, the gentoo packaging system
it would be necessary to make available a bootstrap tar ball (640 KB)
with the ppc386 binary and a default fpc.cfg file.

My suggestion would be the same dir as the fpc source tar ball, i.e.
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/mirrors/fpc/beta/source-1.9.8/

Comments? Questions?

Best wishes - Daniel Herzog

:-)

 Sources shouldn't contain binaries. Bootstrapping compilers is always a
 chicken-and-egg story.

Re: [fpc-devel] Packaging

[Daniel Herzog]

Okay. I'll totally rephrase this now:

Gentoo builds (almost) everything from source.
This is done via ebuilds.
There is grap this file:
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/beta/source-1.9.8/fpc-1.9.8.source.tar.gz
And compile and install it.
 
 
 Don't expect this directory to exists very long. When the release is made
 this directory is moved to an other place.
 

When this directory doesnt exist anymore a new version of the ebuild is
released and that's it. Every project from time to time changes it's
files...

Re: [fpc-devel] Packaging

[Daniel Herzog]

Thanks. I'll, for now, work around it using the binary.tar.
In practise, the only problem is the bigger download, and getting the
ppc386 out of it...

 This was clear from the beginning :) 
 But thank you for taking the trouble yo elaborate.
 
 We're discussing on the core list how we can accomodate for things like this.
 We'll send a mail with the outcome.
 
 Michael.

It worked for ages here, while i never touched my router for about 2

Maybe someone responsible for the webserver could show up and tell me if
there were changes done to it recently or not?

Even better:
One single archive containing all ppc* starting compilers - this way i
could also package it quite easily for all arches, and it would easy to
script it using ppc${ARCH} everywhere...you see?

Re: [fpc-devel] OT: pmtu/tcp window clamping

[Daniel Herzog]

No matter what i change all those mtu's to - 1460 byte will be the
bigges package that works. 
 
 
 Are you clamping the tcp window size correctly on 0.1? If you can't do
 it there maybe try on 0.2.
 
 johannes

Explain please. (All but 0.1 are Linux, 0.1 is a D-Link device)

Re: [fpc-devel] webserver

 ISP and consequently DNS has changed. Check the IP address.
 It should be 62.166.198.202

 But you're the only one to report problems, which suggests the problem is
 somewhere on your side. Maybe a proxy ?
 
 
 Well I'm having problems with www.freepascal.org for around a month now
 (maybe even more). Sometimes it's just reappears - last time it's
 happened in sunday - I've succesfully filed bug report and downloaded
 sources from CVS. But next day it again disappeared. And now not
 reachable either throw www.freepascal.org or 62.166.198.202.
 
 PS. Actually another successful connection were just after 1.9.8 release.

Try www.jp.freepascal.org as a workaround (works nice here), or the
google cache.

Re: [fpc-devel] Packaging

A sample configuration, or the great (i really like it) samplecfg tool,
are needed, to avoid possibly broken/outdated/... /etc/fpc.cfg files

please add this somehow too.

[fpc-devel] Packaging

[Daniel Herzog]

Hi guys.

It would be nice if you could add a starting compiler to your source
packages, this eases up packaging with gentoo alot. this is especially
important for the 1.9.x series, which is changed. (the stable release
looks kinda freezed until 2.0.0 is released)

i cannot access http://www.freepascal.org/ for days.

I can ping it, and wget establishes a connection (200 OK )but cant
download any data. ftp and www.jp.freepascal.org work fine.

please fix this, it worked nice here until the last week or so.
