Hello All,

https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,55167.0.html

We are moving our bugs to Gitlab.

- If you have a mantis account,
- and you want your bugs (or notes) to be identified on gitlab

we can add your gitlab account to the info of the converted bugs/notes.

But you need to provide the info.

To map your gitlab user name (or ID) to the mantis user, we ask that you file an issue in the mantis project of the current bugtracker
https://bugs.freepascal.org/bug_report_page.php?project_id=4 Assign it the category gitlab, and set the summary of the bugreport to your gitlab account name or ID number (not both!).

Only a few days left.

I signed in with GitLab using my GitHub account (where may user name is @genericptr). Does that mean simply file a report with the "summary" field containing "genericptr"? I guess this process is automated. I have a number of open reports I'd like transferred over.

Does this mean the Mantis reporter is going be shut down or are users simply encouraged to not post new reports there?

Yes.

All reports are transferred. We need the username to refer to you as a user, I suppose as a user you can also see all reports in which you are mentioned.

Mantis will be shut down. I will only place a redirect so old 'view' links will be redirected permanently to gtilab.

Michael.

As discussed at https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,55397.0.html, this compiles and works well:

  {$MACRO ON}
  {$if SizeOf(byte) = 1}
    WriteLn('SizeOf(byte) = ', SizeOf(byte));
  {$endif}

however this does not compile:

  {$MACRO ON}
  {$define TMyOrdinalType := byte}
  {$if SizeOf(TMyOrdinalType) = 1}
    WriteLn('SizeOf(TMyOrdinalType) = ', SizeOf(TMyOrdinalType));
  {$endif}

and creates this compilation error: Identifier not found "TMyOrdinalType"

Looking at the documentation https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/prog/progsu29.html I was expecting {$if SizeOf(TORDINALTYPE) = 1} to compile. If I am reading it correctly, then I should either file a documentation bug report to make documentation more clear, or a feature bug report where this $IF example is not behaving as it should. Which should I report?

Why are you expecting it ? TOrdinalType is not an identifier.

It's a macro that resolved to an identifier.

Macros are not expanded in directives.

Documentation bug.
