Hi,
I've already asked about this on the community forums on the
freepascal.org site and opened a bug on the bugtracker (bugID #4538).
But none of those show any progress on a solution to the problem I'm
having.
First a little backstory: I'm currently, as part of an internship,
porting an application written in Delphi 6 to Free Pascal/Lazarus. The
application consists of a main executable and a bunch of (23, to be
exact) DLL's. The app uses some of these DLL's and some other are used
by the DLL's themselves. To make this more clear, I've schematically
illustrated the situation below.
Main-app
/ | \
dll2- | --dll1
/ | \
dll3- dll3 -dll2
\
-dll3
Dll3 could, for example, be a library which is responsible for logging
(debug)messages to a file on disk.
Right now I've come to the point where every individual part seems to do
what it should do. But when testing the whole package, I came across a
problem, which at first i thought to be a bug in our code. But after
some debugging and after testing with a bunch of simple testcases I
concluded that my problem might be caused by a bug in FPC itself.
The problem is this: When the app calls a function in dll1, which calls
a function in dll2, which calls a function in dll3, an AccessViolation
is thrown when calling the function in dll3.
This problem is blocking further porting efforts, So you can guess that
I'd really like to see this resolved.
What I'd like to ask is, am I doing something wrong? If so, what is it
I'm doing wrong? If not, can anybody confirm the bug (if there is one)
and maybe give a possible ETA for a fix.
Before we can say something, what functions do you call, what params,
what calling convention etc.
Does it happen in one specific sequence of calls, to specific
functions/methods etc.
Please provide some more info.
Marc
