[Lazarus] More for the Lazarus Wish list
Hi, This is more for the Wish list, if such a list exists for Lazarus. Lately I've been trying to isolate some AV's in Carbon, but sometimes I wish Lazarus could show me a memory dump of a pointer in the Watch list (like in Delphi) - the style options are disabled, so they are not implemented. Sometimes I wish I could see information about compilation result, like code size, data size, etc. These features could help programmers trying to find causes of AV's, or dislike, and help improving FPC/Lazarus by reporting back to the Lazarus teams. Will these kinds of features be found in future releases of Lazarus? Thanks, Normann ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

[Lazarus] Carbon: Error rebuilding Lazarus
Hi all, I have installed the latest Lazarus snapshot for Mac i386 (0.9.25beta, FPC 2.2.2, r15730), and managed to set it up to be stable, compile test programs and applications, and they are all working exactly as they would with previous installation with FPC 2.2.0. Now I need to rebuild Lazarus, so I can install different packages. I checked all parts of Lazarus to Clean+Build, checked Clean All and With packages, and hit build. The compilation goes through all parts with no errors, except at the end, which says: [snip] make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/share/lazarus/ide' /usr/local/bin/ppc386 -gl -Fu../lcl/units/i386-darwin -Fu../lcl/units/i386-darwin/carbon -Fu../components/codetools/units/i386-darwin -Fu../components/synedit/units/i386-darwin -Fu../components/custom -Fu../components/mpaslex -Fu../ideintf/units/i386-darwin -Fu../designer -Fu../designer/jitform/units/i386-darwin -Fu../debugger -Fu../converter -Fu../packager -Fu../packager/units/i386-darwin -Fu../units/i386-darwin -Fu. -Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.2.2/units/i386-darwin/rtl -Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.2.2/units/i386-darwin/regexpr -Fiinclude -Fiinclude/darwin -Fi../images -FE.. -FU../units/i386-darwin -Fl/usr/X11R6/lib -Fl/sw/lib @/Users/bent/.lazarus/idemake.cfg -k-framework -kcarbon -k-framework -kOpenGL -k-dylib_file -k/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dyl ib:/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dy lib -di386 lazarus.pp Free Pascal Compiler version 2.2.2rc1 [2008/07/10] for i386 Copyright (c) 1993-2008 by Florian Klaempfl Target OS: Darwin for i386 Compiling lazarus.pp PPU Loading /usr/local/share/lazarus/lcl/units/i386-darwin/carbon/carbonint.ppu PPU Source: carbonint.pas not found PPU Source: carbondebug.inc not found PPU Source: carbonwinapih.inc not found PPU Source: carbonlclintfh.inc not found PPU Source: carbonobject.inc not found PPU Source: carbonwinapi.inc not found PPU Source: carbonlclintf.inc not found PPU Source: carbonimages.lrs not found Recompiling CarbonInt, checksum changed for MacOSAll carbonint.pas(74,11) Fatal: Can't find unit CarbonInt used by Interfaces I can find the *.ppu and *.o files in /usr/local/share/lazarus/lcl/units/i386-darwin/carbon/, and they're all freshly compiled.

[Lazarus] Carbon: CheckBox and AllowGrayed
Hi, Checking AllowGrayed for a CheckBox component, and running it on a Carbon application, have no effect when you click on it - it only toggles between cbChecked and cbUnchecked, although you can set the State property to cbGrayed both at design time and runtime. I checked this on Lazarus Win32, and it can toggles between the three states. Is this a bug, or will I have to work around this?

[Lazarus] ToolButtons - AutoSize and Visible
Hi, I've a couple of issues with ToolBar and its ToolButtons. AutoSize: You can check ShowCaptions for a ToolBar, and check AutoSize for each ToolButton, but AutoSize have no effect - All tool buttons are set to ToolBar.ButtonWidth. Maybe this is left out by choice, or because no one use tool buttons with only captions? You can work around this by setting the width of a tool button at runtime (a tool buttons AutoSize must be set to true). Visible: When you make one ToolButton invisible on Delphi, it realigns all the other ToolButtons to fill out the space from the invisible button, and brings it back at its usual ordered place (not reordered). This doesn't happen on Lazarus, at least not on Win32 and Carbon - they just leaves a big gap between the other buttons. Maybe this is also left out by choice, or because no one needs it. I can work around it by setting the invisible button width to 1, and back to text width when visible. Setting the width to 0 will rearrange the order of buttons, so that an invisible buttons doesn't reappear at its usual place.

Re: [Lazarus] Carbon: GetTextExtentPoint and Access Violation
Hi again, I tried to make a simple test by reading different components canvas handles, like: Caption := IntToStr(ToolButton1.Canvas.Handle); Caption := Caption+' '+ IntToStr(ToolBar1.Canvas.Handle); Caption := Caption+' '+ IntToStr(Panel3.Canvas.Handle); Caption := Caption+' '+ IntToStr(Panel2.Canvas.Handle); Caption := Caption+' '+ IntToStr(Panel1.Canvas.Handle); Caption := Caption+' '+ IntToStr(Form1.Canvas.Handle); They all return the same handle (one component is parent for the next component), but more interestingly the test crashes on the main application, and not on a isolated test application. And it only crashes if I read 6 handles, not 5 or less - strange. And also I tried different compiler options, and I that found if I check Use Heaptrc Unit (-gh) the displaying of hint don't crash no more, neither does the above test. But the application crash on exit. Could this be a problem with memories on Carbon for larger applications with many components? I tried to increase Heap Size with no luck.

[Lazarus] Carbon: Simple component in a simple package with strange behavior
Hi all,
Lately I've been trying to create a package with custom components, which
works already on Lazarus Win32, but gets all kinds of errors on Mac OS X, so
I created a package from scratch and try to isolate different problems.
I created a new package and saved it as TestPackage.lpk, added a new
component with TWinControl as ancestor type and named it TCommonTest, named
the unit NewCtrls and saved the unit as newctrls.pas. I added a new
requirement to the package, so that LCL also is required by the new package.
I then manually added a new component to the unit named TComponentTest with
TCommonTest as ancestor, and changed the register procedure to only register
the last component.
It compiles, and the component is installed, and the component is visible in
the tab New Ctrls on Lazarus, which is compiled to Carbon.
But when I try to drop the new component on a form (on a new and clean
application) it fails saying Error moving component
ComponentTest1:TComponentTest. The new component does not appear on the
Object Inspector at first, but clicking on the component tree will make it
appear, and I also can select the component on the form - but nothing is
added to the unit source, and the application can't run because of Class
TComponentTest not found, which naturally is caused by nothing was added
to the units uses clause.
Manually making the changes to the forms unit will cause the application to
raise an exception with the message: (V)TCarbonWSWinControl.CreateHandle
Error:Not implemented - unable to create Carbon win control for
ComponentTest1:TComponentTest!
Does a new component with an ancestor type of TWinControl need special
handling, or is it impossible? Or am I doing something totally wrong?
Thanks and best regards,
Normann

Re: [Lazarus] Carbon: Simple component in a simple package with strange behavior

Re: [Lazarus] LazReport
Hi, I'm really looking forward to see a new and improved LazReport. I'm working on porting an application to MacOSX Carbon, and I've had troubles using LazReport on Carbon - it crashes. I've been working on other parts of the application, but will be working on LazReport on Carbon tomorrow, and will try to locate causes for some exceptions when trying to print reports, that otherwise is working OK on LazReport for Win32. Anybody working on Carbon side of LazReport? Good work.
