I can't reproduce the error with the latest snapshot of the compiler, the tinifile works correct here. Did you recompile everything (also FCL) with a snapshot dated after 20 may ?

Peter

Some are not having this problem due to their system's config. I pulled an entirely new CVS FPC version and I can add strings, but again if I comment out line 337 in editor.pp it crashes. That line is adding strings together, but again, if I leave it IN it works, and when I comment it out it crashes. Odd huh?

Michael (or whomever) have you looked at this to determine if this is a FPC problem?

Shane

I can only get a crash when i load idesourceutil.pp as first file in the lazaruside. But i don't get why it would crash because the code generated for the ansitemps looks correct.

Peter

Is anyone else having this problem?

every time I try to do something like this writeln(string + string +string) I immediately throw a access violation.

I even tried grabbing the latest snapshot and am having the same results.

This sucks ;(

Cliff

I used a snapshot that I grabbed last night from the web.

I rebuilt gtk and FCL from web snapshots also. I can try again tonight If I have trouble I will try and reproduce the problem again. I am not sure of the
date on the snapshot itself.

Cliff

I give up this is rediculous. I cannot do anything further until that is fixed.

"And I do not give up very easy"

I just cannot do any operations without strings working properly.

Cliff

Michael,

Take a starting at line 100. It looks as though a FILE CLOSE is supposed to start the compiler. I see some hard coded paths that do not match my own. That's all I have time for today.

Tom

I was trying to generate a test app that was doing it last night. I then removed the H switch a bang the problem went away. I also noticed that TIniFile uses the
H Switch also. Any attemp to write a string using TIni will throw the error.

obj := TIniFile.Create('/lazaruside/test.ini');
obj.WriteString('Files','Units',mystr);

At the end of tini file is a statement to this effect.

TheStringList.Add(brackets[0] + section + brackets[1]);

This unit does use the h switch the next thing for me to do is to remove it and see if it will work correctly.

BTW this one does seem to be very stealth it only happens when things are just right. It seems like it is a combination of things that causes the error.

Calm down ;)

Pant! Pant! Drool! That's hard to do. ;-)

If you wish to use it you will have to hack in the proper paths inside of the lazaruside unit the mnuCloseEvent will fire the compiler based on the stuff you sent to the object.

OK got it. I ran it again and checked and that is where it was seg. faulting, when I was trying to close the file. I guess because some path information isn't correct it was getting unhappy. If I have any more time today I'll try and play with it. Other wise I won't get to it until maybe Monday. Holiday weekend and all that. :-)

Talk at you later,

by monday I will have the LCL and the whole visual designer done...

Just kidding ... I wish!

Cliff

I will try to hack something together until we resolve this.

I have to be able to append strings together. TiniFile would also be nice for building the config and project file but it has the H switch also. I have a copy of tinifile renamed so that I can use this until we figure this out. I am going to try and remove the switch tonight and see if I can use this renamed TIniFile.

Cliff

Michael have you tried my source where you comment out line 337 and it crashes?

Can you use that and debug it to see if there is a problem? Like I said, it's a really odd occurance and I hate to try to recreate it.

!!! PLEASE SEND CODE !!!

I am willing to fix stuff, but I need explicit code that shows the bug.

Saying that
S1:=S2+S3+S4;
doesn't work is not enough. I can successfully compile and run such statements. I need to know in what circumstances the error occurs. I need to see the code, so I can check what assembler is generated.

Important questions are
- Is it in a procedure or not ?
- Is it in a With statement or not ?
- Is it in a Class method or not ?
- Does it involve short strings or pchars as well ? And so on.

We have a large ansistring test program which does all kinds of tests, and these run fine. Unless I have some example code which shows what goes wrong, I cannot do anything.

Michael.

I'll take a removing the $H+ switch will use shortstrings instead of ansistrings, i don't know if you'll like that ;)

If you wish to use it you will have to hack in the proper paths inside of the
lazaruside unit the mnuCloseEvent will fire the compiler based on the stuff you
sent to the object. Yes I did say on the close. It is not by no means a production
type system I still have the config file and get project files built into it.

As for the core that is really bugging me. I cannot get it to explode no matter what I do someone else will probably have to step it down.

So menu close will fire the compiler. I was using the close event "well just because I had it there already." I will put in the proper menu items tonight. But I can tell you it is a pure joy to not have to go to a command line to do anything. On my machine I keep a copy seperated from the ide source. Once I have a stable version I copy over my existing one and come up on that one. It is sort of a weird feeling compiling and editing code in the app for which you are compiling.

lazout.put is where the compiler output gets spewed to. The ide then opens the file and
parses and displays it.

Sorry about the confusion. Close fires the compiler for the moment!

Cliff

I pulled a new snapshot from the web copied over the rtl and compiler and now everything works just fine.

It is running very stable now and TIniFile is working for me also. I was able to integrate the compiler with the IDE last night
and I can tell you gents that I am not using a text editor or command prompt anymore.

Some additons last night.

Compiler Is integrated.

I am also running the result of the compile thru the lex analyzer and highlighting the errrors in red when displaying
to the compiler output window.

Cliff is one happy programmer.

I am going to try to hack around it some how. Maybe create a pchar and strcat the strings together so that I can use it.

I cannot run the compiler until I figure out how to hack around it.

It is also keeping TIniFile From working also. It tries to add some strings together at the bottom of the writestring procedure and blows out of the water.

TStrings.SaveToFile works pretty well. I am using that to generate a sequential writtten project file because I cannot run TIniFile.

I can hack around it but it is sure trying my nerves.

Cliff

Cliff, maybe I'm being a moron here but, how, what, where, all the usual questions. I unziped the laz.zip file you attached to that email but I have to say it doesn't do anything. For one it still cores on me. I didn't get the latest code out of CVS this morning I'll do that after this big download I am doing is finished.

However that aside the program doesn't seem to do anything. You say you added the compiler, where? There isn't any options, buttons, controls or anything to make it compile. There isn't anything under the projects button. The end of the idecompiler.pp file is nothing but line after line of garbage data.

So what the heck are you looking at that you didn't put in the laz.zip file?
