Hello,
this is notification for users, who plan upgrade to latest Lazarus 1.6
with FPC 3.0 from older versions which came with FPC 2.6.x
There was discovered bug in FPC 3.0 (already fixed in trunk) when
currency and double data types are involved in mathematical operations
like addition or multiplication.
Bug can be reproduced using simple example:
var
c: currency;
d: double;
begin
c:=123.45;
d:=100;
writeln(c*d); // wrong result 123450000 instead of 12345
end.
Bug does not affects all platforms . For example Win32, Linux64 are not
affected. But Win64 IS affected.
This bug can cause unpredictable misbehavior.
For example in database applications using fcl-db/sqlDB and NUMERIC or
DECIMAL data types as described in bug report #29760
Nota bene (Koenraad, Bo): *Does* affect Raspberry Pi.
