Trying to validate "1,2" (notice the comma - danish decimal

comma is the problem. Stepping through the code, it seem that in
"fpc_Val_Real_ShortStr" the decimal separator is hardcoded to ".".
Is this a bug or is this just the way "val" is intended to work?
It is the way val is intended to work. Use
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/floattostr.html
Oops, it's http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/strtofloat.html
of course. Or http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/trystrtofloat.html
if you don't want an exception if the conversion fails.
