Sure, it is really easy. But instead having a bunch of mails in the archives,

Re: [fpc-devel] Lazarus: A new widgest set

2008-02-15 Thread vsnijders
 I don't have the Free Pascal compiler sources (yet) and (sitting 
 behind 
 a firewall) I can't access the RCS. Can these be downloaded as a 
 zipped 
 file ?

How can you download the zip-file, if you cannot use SVN (that uses http over 
port 80)? If svn is blocked, you cannot browse to the downlocation either.

 AFAIK, some SVN systems automatically provide a ZIP file of the 
 latest 
 state as a nightly build.
 

So does the fpc team.

But you cannot download them, because you are behind a firewall, so you cannot 
browse to the download location.

 Any hints?

It has to to with SSE2 detection. AFAIK the only reliable way to detect it, is 
execute a SSE2 instruction and capture the exection which it causes if it is 
not supported.

I don't know, how it can be circumvented (except for using a newer processor).

Re: [fpc-devel] Comparison FPC 2.2 - Delphi 7

2007-07-06 Thread vsnijders
If you trust Lazarus to make the right decision when determining if something 
is changed, then go to Project - Project Options - Miscellaneous  and uncheck 
Always build (even if nothing changed).

Does Delphi really rebuild all units, then ?



No, it does not.
  

Of course it does do a decent make process.

But for me it does a link when I press F9 just to restart the 
program again when debugging. Why is this necessary ? (Delphi just 
start the program here.) or am I doing something wrong ?


As you will have supposed I was experiencing this with Lazarus. Maybe 
this is a Lazarus problem, but even if Lazarus thoughtlessly does a 
make with unmodified sources, IMHO, the make should no call the linker.

[fpc-devel] using gorc on win64 as resource compiler

2007-07-02 Thread vsnijders
Hi,

Thanks for fixing the coff loading on win64.

Attached patch enables the use of gorc on win64 in the compiler: adding {$R 
lazarus.rc} includes this resource into the Lazarus executable, giving it a 
main icon and a XP look.

  Darius Blaszijk, Vincent Snijders and myself had a discussion off 
 the mailing list about the possibility of moving FPCUnit out of 
 FPC as a
  separate project.  I thought it to be important that we get the
  opinions of others as well.
  
  In summary:
Darius is all for it.
Vincent is against it.
I'm on the wire, but leaning towards the move.  :-)
 
 I think that most fpc-core developers aggree with Vincent. (On exactly
 the same reasons, but I could be wrong)
 
  Some points that where raised in our discussion (please add more 
 if I
  left some out):
  
  * As it stands now, FPCUnit is split between two repositories. 
 The FPC
  one and the Lazarus one. This make it really hard to submit updates.
  The FPC one must be done first otherwise it breaks the Lazarus GUI
  TestRunner (or Console TestRunner).
 
 This is the same for all of the LCL. Clearest example is maybe the 
 DB-
 components. But it holds for all of the LCL, which depends on the FCL
 and RTL. The LCL is full of version-checks to avoid problems with
 different fpc-releases.
 
 Second there's no problem if FPCUnit is broken in svn. Those are
 _development_ versions. If people have problems with them, because 
 theydo not update enough (fpc or lazarus), that's their problem.
 
  * FPC versions are a issue as the release cycles is very 
 different for
  the FPC and Lazarus projects. Apparently the FPCUnit is broken in 
 the previous release of Lazarus, due to this.
 
 Which holds dor the complete LCL. That's why there are ifdefs all over
 the place, see above.
 
  * Vincent likes the idea of the testing framework being part of FPC.
  One simple checkout. I think this point is moot because SubVersion
  support Externals Definitions for exactly this purpose and I think
  will actually work better than the current setup. We can link 
 FPCUnit to FPC as an external link - and even link it to a 
 specific revision
  of FPCUnit to always guarantee it pulls in a stable version of 
 FPCUnit for use in FPC's test cases.
 
 You don't want to pull in any LCL-dependencies to test the FCL or 
 otherfpc-things. So you still need to keep them separate.
 Besides, I see the graphical-features of fpcunit as a nice add-on, 
 but I
 don't use them. You can use FPCUnit as it's provided by fpc, 
 without the
 tools in Lazarus. I think there are a lot of ppl who actually do that.
 (Just like you can use the db-unit without the db-components from
 Lazarus)
 

What I did (wrong) was that I created a TCustomApplication descendant that 
could be a base for all console testrunners (see 
lazarus\components\fpcunit\console) and made that only for fpc 2.1.1 and later 
in mind, because that is what I used and left that in the lazarus repository. 

Instead I should have donated that to the fpc team, so that it is clear that  
it is not part of fpc 2.0.4. Now people see this in Lazarus and wonder why it 
doesn't work with fpc 2.0.4.

If the consoletestrunner.pas is part of fcl-fpcunit, then the runtime package 
is not necessary anymore and that complete directory can be removed. I could 
add an {$ifndef ver_2_0}  to disable the create new console testrunner in the 
fpcunitide package.

[fpc-devel] Streaming readonly properties

2006-12-12 Thread vsnijders
As said in an earlier mail I have problems streaming the 
property EditLabel: TBoundLabel read FEditLabel;
of a TLabeledEdit with fpc 2.1.1.

Some discussion on #fpc led to the conclusion that streaming a readonly 
persistant should be allowed, because you write to the properties of the 
readonly persistant property.

Attached is a proposal to fix it.
