Hi,
https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/longrec.html
I'm referring to the documentation shown in the URL above. As far as I know the fpdoc is sensitive to which platform it is running on (unless explicitly told otherwise), and will generate documentation according to that platform. Please correct me if I am wrong, but this was my personal experience with fpdoc.
Anyway, as far as I know the FPC documentation is normally generated on a Linux system with 64-bit Intel type CPU.
If so, that means the documentation shown above has the Hi, Lo fields in the wrong order. Showing Big Endian instead of Little Endian (what Intel desktop CPU's are).
Based on the real source code found in sysutilh.inc, this is how the record is actually defined:
LongRec = packed record
case Integer of
{$ifdef FPC_LITTLE_ENDIAN}
0 : (Lo,Hi : Word);
{$else FPC_LITTLE_ENDIAN}
0 : (Hi,Lo : Word);
{$endif FPC_LITTLE_ENDIAN}
1 : (Bytes : Array[0..3] of Byte);
end;It seems that when generating documentation the FPC_LITTLE_ENDIAN compiler define is not specified, thus fpdoc defaults to using and showing the Big Endian source code.
On a side note:
It might also be a good idea to indicate inside the documentation which system was used to generate the docs. Maybe the footer or some "About -> Notations" page. As far as I know fpdoc can't show documentation for multiple platforms together (like the source code shown above).
Regards,
Graeme
