[fpc-pascal]Getting the size of an array
In Delphi (the later versions I suppose), it is possible to get the size of an array, and not just the size of a String, using Length() Is this not available yet in FreePascal or is there another way of doing it? You can use SizeOf, but then you'd have to get the SizeOf the type of the array first (is this possible?) and divide the SizeOf the array type by it. -- = reply-to: a n d y @ n e t f x p h . c o m http://www.neotitans.com Web and Software Development ___ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
[fpc-pascal]No runtime range checking?
program blah; type stringy = array[4..10] of char; var C: stringy; D: array[2..5] of char; procedure showstring(I:Integer); begin Write(C[I]); end; begin C:='ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'; D:='ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'; Writeln(D); showstring(-5); end. FPC doesn't even complain about range exceeded whether during compilation or runtime... isn't this an egregious violation of Pascal's strict typing philosophy? Does Turbo Pascal/Delphi behave this way as well? ___ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Did you turn it on when you compiled... default is off.

Strange, even with runtime range checking on, fpc doesn't catch this problem. dcc apparently does as early as compile time... or am I missing something here? Also, will the writing outside of array bounds in lines 16 and 17 corrupt memory even with runtime range checking on? With RRC off, I'm almost sure it will, correct? ___ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

[fpc-pascal]switch suboption usage
fpc accepts -glc, but will it work? Or does one need to do -gl -gc? For the help screen, what does the after the switch invocation actually mean? You have multiple -g, -a, -s and -i suboptions, but they are not indicated as -g, -a, -s and -i. Also, how does one figure out from the help screen when bunching together suboptions (i.e. -CritoR) will work and when they won't? ___ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
