None yet.

None is designed yet. The specs are simple: Take any Delphi package and
compile it.

Feel free to start on package/variants support. Personally, I would be most
pleased if the Variants are working. It's a bigger showstopper than
Packages.

[fpc-devel]Hello. Anyone working on Package support? I'd like to help...

2004-03-19 Thread Warren Postma
Hi, I'm a 15+ year Pascal/Delphi developer interested in improving the 
FPC and Lazarus.  I am interested in helping out with
Package support. Was any work done on this? Who was working on it? How 
far did they get? Did anyone write up a package-architecture 
documentation of any kind?  Is there any package-docs that describe a 
proposed object-oriented packaging system for the freepascal 
compiler/linker?

I am a fairly competent Unix/Posix developer already in C, and a 
god-like Delphi objectPascal developer (as well as incredibly humble 
), and I'd sure like to help fpc and lazarus evolve into being a 
real Delphi-like open source set of tools.  Right now I think that fpc 
needs a lot more features (like complete support for packages, variants 
including var-arrays) before I start into contribs for Lazarus.  The 
fact that Lazarus component "packages" require a recompilation of 
lazarus itself is proof positive that Lazarus will be stuck in a rut 
until FPC evolves a little.  I've always wanted to get my hands dirty 
inside compiler/linker code, so here goes...

[fpc-devel]Compiler crash (lazarus/win32)

2004-03-19 Thread Jesus Reyes
Hi, the latest cvs compiler crash when compiling lastest cvs lazarus (WIN98)

PPC386 provocó una excepción 10eH en el módulo PPC386.EXE de 015f:0048c1d8.
Registros:
EAX=018df3ec CS=015f EIP=0048c1d8 EFLGS=00010206
EBX=00488a08 SS=0167 ESP=006ef924 EBP=006f3c5c
ECX=01970584 DS=0167 ESI=0173e1a0 FS=463f
EDX=0048c1c4 ES=0167 EDI=0055f3c0 GS=

Attached is the sniped output of: make OPT="-va"

apparently, crash in lclintf.pas when including lclicons.lrs by

...
initialization
  {$I lclicons.lrs}
  InternalInit;

end.

if I change {$I lclicons.lrs} to {.$I lclicons.lrs} it compiles fine this
file, however still crash some steps later when compiling
synhighlightersql.pas, but I dont include the output.
The compiler it self cycles ok, and compile packages and fcl fine.

Regards.
