2005-07-21 Thread Vincent Snijders
Hi, Suppose I have the following code: var a,b: dword; c: qword; begin a := 1000; b := 2000; c := a * b; writeln(c); end. Now, although c is large enough to contain the result only the lower dword is filled. I can force correct results by using c := qword(a) * b, but the

The fpc qte binding demo program shows that it is usable. If however you have problems and think it is binding or fpc related, I am always willing to investigate this. I just did so for someone who had a problem with QLCDNumber, it probably is a small fpc bug concerning passing a double
