I prefer doing this manually, syntax conversion is easy, but library design is totally different. -- View this message in context: http://free-pascal-general.1045716.n5.nabble.com/TPLY-tp3235828p3236641.html Sent from the Free Pascal - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[fpc-pascal] A bug in documentation?

2010-10-26 Thread Vladimir Zhirov
Hi, Language Reference, Section 1.4 Identifiers says: Identifiers consist of between 1 and 127 significant characters (letters, digits and the underscore character), of which the first must be an alphanumeric character, or an underscore (_). Should alphanumeric be alphabetic here? Since

2010/10/26 patspiper patspi...@yahoo.com The buildcrossbinutils.sh script produces i686-mingw32- binaries only (no i686-cygwin-), and yet, FPC 2.4.2 cross compiles without any problem. What is different about 2.5.1? Probably 2.5.1 contains assembler files, so it needs an assembler, 2.4.2

A bug may show anytime anywhere, but the built in ref counted string types are AFAIK thread safe what concerns the ref count per se. I suspect a subtle flaw in the client code is more probable. No, it is a compiler bug. The same code works 100% perfectly on Windows using Delphi, as well as on

Hi, I was wrong, UniqueString does not help after all. I am now using an extended version of the heaptrc unit to show the reference count (and string value) for unfreed WideStrings and they usually have 1 as a reference count. Will keep you posted. Cheers, Tobias

Hi Jonas, thanks very much!!! I am sorry for the wrong things that I wrote. Now I can clearly see that the memory is not lost on the FPC heap. The total heap size doesn't even change at all. So there's no difference with CMem either. More work to do ... Cheers, Tobias
