[fpc-pascal]QWord vs. function Abs
Hallo, i'm newbie and maybe making something wrong. Small example for go32v2: var q1,q2:qword; begin q1:=10; q2:=20; writeln(Abs(q1-q2)); end. With FPC compiler 1.0.10/IDE 0.9.2 i got this error message: 'Can't determine which overloaded function to call' Any idea ? With type INT64,Word it is o.k. I think this version 1.0.x doesn't full support type QWord. I want try the new version 1.1.x, but under Windows NT/SP6a (czech version) is not possible to start \pp\bin\go32v2\fp.exe.

I get runtime 215 with FPC 1.0.6 ... This probably means that FPC cannot support qwords in the abs function even though the documentation says "Any numerical type".

Hi, 1) Is there anyway of finding out the cooresponding source line when a program crashes and only outputs the following: An unhandled exception occurred at 0x080A33B1 : List index exceeds bounds (-1) 0x080A33B1 2) With compile modes: -gg -gl Aren't line info and tracebacks suppose to be shown, the above example does not show these. cheers James -- - -Zero Defect Software Engineers Group - ZDSEG - -You need only two tools.

I get runtime 215 with FPC 1.0.6 ... This probably means that FPC cannot support qwords in the abs function even though the documentation says "Any numerical type". The problem is that there is a abs(int64) and abs(cardinal) and it can't decide which to take. An abs(qword) needs to be added Peter ___ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

An abs(qword) needs to be added IMHO, abs(cardinal) doesn't make any sense .. calling it could even be considered a design or coding error, couldn't it?

[fpc-pascal]linux or libc ?
There seems to be some minor conflicts between the linux unit and the new libc unit on 1.0.10 They both seem to get the job done, but putting them both in the same uses clause could make me crazy. :-o Any suggestions/opinions as to which one is best? __ Do you Yahoo!?

In the next major version it will be split up and renamed to baseunix/unix/linux, and work on all supported Unixy platforms. libc is a purely Kylix compability unit for linux/i386 only. Only use it for Kylix emulation purposes and maybe some linux specific stuff. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

So I think the best way is either to declare var q1, q2: int64; or, if they have to be qwords for some reason, to typecast: writeln(abs(int64(q1) - int64(q2))); Still, the documentation states "any numerical type". If there's time for it, FPC should imho generate a call to abs(int64) and possibly issue a warning when it encounters abs(qword). Anton -- Ing.
