To Marco and Jeppe:
As for 2 examples:
res := PosEx(mypchar,'NEEDLE',35) ;
res := Copy (mypchar, 10,15) ;
What are the byte boundaries here?
Zero Based from the pointer?
1 Based from the pointer?
As far as behavior, it would throw the program in unstable land over
time and gdb
would show worthless garbage on Backtrace with a stack that was totally
upside down.
When I stumbled across these calls and cleaned them up to keep pchar and
ansistring operations
clearly separate, magically, stability returned to my program.
The reason I posted this to the list is that it is my responsibility to
the community to raise
the chatter, even though I cannot right now produce a working sample to
reproduce the bug.
I absolutely love the combination of Lazarus 1.08/FPC 2.6.2. Awesome,
awesome, awesome.
My productivity just went up 10x.
And we get Mac OSX targets, IOS targets, and Android NDK targets!
Cheers,

Could you maybe describe this weird, erratic behavior?

Passing a Pchar gives weird, erratic behavior
Please make minimal examples in a few lines, and add them to the bugtracker.
