Re: [fpc-pascal] Cross-compiling from 64-bit Linux to 32-bit Linux
I use Ubuntu 9.10 64bit and I can confirm this link are present with this release.

[fpc-pascal] String buffer
Probably just reinventing the wheel - I was not able to quickly find a String builder/buffer elsewhere.

This has been suggested on the list a couple of times and I even intended to implement something but didn't have the need since. Some (hopefully constructive) commentaries (and then I would suggest to add to LCL or FCL): 1) It could be called really TStringBuffer; 2) The 'W' methods could be called 'Append'; 3) The GetS method could truncate the string to avoid the copy, as I think the common use will not be Append+Read+Append+Read, but Append+Append+...+Read...

If you accidentally on unknowingly introduce "code of mass destruction" , or the US Government things your code is considered "rogue" they will try and jump on your case. :-( Simple things like cryptography units is an issue. Having this hanging over your head is not what I call "in the spirit of the open internet". So what Martin did, by moving his project to BerliOS is a good move. I'm considering my options too (self hosting or external non-US hosting), and moving my project away from SourceForge.net. Even though my country is not affected by this, this whole idea of banning countries is ridiculous.

Much too dangerous. I export "prohibited technology" from USA to banned countries which falls under US law. And US government has the possibilities to enforce their will in my country. We will stick to BerliOS. Martin ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Could you explain what the advantages are of that string buffer object compared to a standard string types like AnsiString or TStringList?
