Hi! In FPC 1.9.4 there is a bug concerning comparison of a string if it is empty. The program to test is
Program Bug; Var SS : ShortString; AS : AnsiString; Begin SS := 'asdf'; AS := 'asdf'; WriteLn('SS > '''': ', SS > ''); WriteLn('Length(SS) > 0: ' , Length(SS) > 0); WriteLn('AS > '''': ', AS > ''); WriteLn('Length(AS) > 0: ' , Length(AS) > 0); End. This should emit 4 times "TRUE" but gives a "FALSE" for the first line. I compiled it with FPC 1.9.4 Free Pascal Compiler version 1.9.4 [2004/08/12] for i386 Copyright (c) 1993-2004 by Florian Klaempfl from the Debian package fp-compiler_1.9.4-5_i386.deb. There is a bug ID 2388 which was marked "Fixed" on 2003-10-24. Since 1.9.4 is newer, I'm concerned this was forgotten. Shall I re-submit this bug?
