I haven't been successful in reproducing the error in a minimal amount of code. One reason for this is that I still don't believe that that's the problem. Here's what I discovered.

If I take line 339 and copy it before line 337 (both are NOT commented out) then it will crash, but if I leave it the way it is (337 before 339) then it works fine.

Try it, Copy and move line 339 in front of 337 and open controls.pp. It'll crash.

If the line "Writeln('Buffer, Texts '+buffer[i]+'----'+texts+'-');" executes before (or without) line "Writeln('Length ='+Inttostr(Length(Buffer)));" then it crashes. If they both execute, but the second one (length ='+inttostr(Length(Buffer[i])))'); ) executes before the first it'll be fine. Wierd huh?

Hope I didn't confuse anyone.
Michael can you use this to solve the problem instead of me creating another source file with the problem? I'm not sure I'll be able to create it again. (not on purpose anyways) :-)

Make MINIMAL code that reproduces this, and we'll fix it ASAP.

And by MINIMAL I understand a standalone program that can be compiled with the minimum of neede units. I.e. no FCL, GTK etc. (just trying to lure you out of 'compile lazarus, line .. in ..' :-) )

Florian has done a MAJOR overhaul of the ansistrings code, but apparently, not everything has been fixed yet :(

Did you update lazarus from CVS or the rntire FPC?

Shane,

I updated from CVS this morning. I compiled and was able to open files. The files were colorized and the scanner spewed info to the text window. I even opened the files that the flat IDE had problems with lazaruside/idesourceutil.pp and lazaruside/lazaruside.pp, both at the same time.

I then tried #2 below... It still worked???

I will try the switches maybe that is my problem.

Nope, temp ansistring management :(

Michael.

This would typically be related to ansistring problems :(

Michael.

Has ANYONE other than Payne tried this? Has it worked? Could someone else try this please? The instructions are found below....

Payne, did you update all of FPC or simply update Lazarus from CVS? If I comment out the line 337 I get the error yet. I pulled the snapshot of the compiler today.

That worked fine for me too, with yesterdays snapshot...

Works fine here with today's sources. Both with $H+ and $H-

Michael.

So what can be done about this?

Shane

It isn't the writeln that is causing the problem it is the IntToStr that is causing the problem. Comment out the writeln and replace it with something like

temp := InttoStr(3);

where temp was defined as an integer.

You will see that it now also still works correctly. It looks like something with strings is being fixed with the IntToStr call.

Has anyone tried this...

Writeln('test' + inttoStr(2))

This will alway throw error.

Cliff

CVS is updated with the latest. Here's the issues.....

1). You have to change the declaration of gtk_shrink gtk_fill and gtk_expand to the 1.1 version of their declaration in gtkenums.pp in order for this to compile.

2) Run it, if you CAN open a file then go into the EDITOR.pp file and comment out line number 337 (a writeln) and run it again. Does it crash? Mine does.

Can anyone figure out why commenting out a WRITELN would cause it to crawsh?

Please we can figure this out then I can move ahead quickly.....

BTW, I downloaded the latest snapshot today....

Thanks
Shane

Michael.

when it rains it pours two gtk ide's

Cliff

Shane I will try it for you when I get home and post the result to the list.

Just to let you know how it goes.

Cliff

What procedure is it blowing in? Is it the save to file routine.

I had something like that occuring last night but fixed it somehow by manipulating the
way I was doing it.

Cliff

I just did an update out of CVS, 2:30PM EST. Rebuilt the compiler, FCL, GTK, AND lazarus. It still blowsup if line 337 is commented out. With the line in it works. :-\

Shane,
I updated all of FPC and lazarus around 0900 CST 5/26/99. CVS had an issue with stdcontrols.pp (I must have changed it or something). I blew it away and updated again. I did use my previously built version of 0.99.11 to compile the new 0.99.11. I am still using the ppc386.cfg you gave me.)

If you can deal with a ~3.5mb tgz, I will sent my version of FPC/Lazarus sources to you directly.

Tom
