You are right, its not a calling convention and declaring a different
convention in the implementation indeed does not work.

But I am still surprised that inline can be declared in either of the
two sections ( I am not complaining, I am actually glad it works for
my particular application). Is there any recommended style, is it bad
practice to put it into the implementation? (I'm not totally sure
whether I should conceptually regard inline as an implementation
detail or as something that belongs into the interface section since
it affects the generated code of other units)

Keeping the interface and implementation declarations the same is the best 
approach. Inline currently always changes the definition anyway (as far as the 
compiler is concerned) because the implementation becomes part of the 
definition once it's parsed. In the future, this may however change to prevent 
unexpected recompilations (http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=19673 ).

Re: [fpc-pascal] Testing applications with FPCUnit

2011-12-17 Thread Luciano de Souza

The article is very good, but it does not focuse on all aspects.

I have tried to create my first test example, but it didn't work. The 
compilation is successful and the program is executed without errors. 
However, I received no messages, informing the test has failed. 
Actually, the test should be failed.


This example is seemingly equivalent the minimum example  supplied by 
the article.


As recommended, I only add the unit "test" in the clause "uses", so the 
test was expected to run. Does someone know what is wrong?


First of all, a unit with a routine to be tested:

unit numbers;
{$mode objfpc}{$h+}

interface
uses
Sysutils;

function calculate(a, b: integer):integer;
implementation

function calculate(a, b: integer):integer;
begin
result := a + b;
end;

INITIALIZATION
END.

Now, my testcase class:

unit test;
{$mode objfpc}{$h+}

interface
numbers, fpcunit, testregistry;
uses

type
TBugTest = class(TTestCase)
published
procedure calculate;
end;

implementation
procedure TBugTest.calculate;
begin
AssertEquals('The calculation is not done', 8, numbers.calculate(5, 4));
end;

INITIALIZATION
RegisterTest(TBugTest);
END.

Now, the runer:

Re: [fpc-pascal] Testing applications with FPCUnit

2011-12-17 Thread Michael Van Canneyt


You see no test results, because the program file of your test 
application is missing some essential things.


If you are using lazarus, simply create a new testing application:

First, make sure that package fpcunitide is installed.

Then, in the 'File-New' dialog, your testproject should be of type

'FPCUNit console test application'
or
'FPCUnit test application'

This will install a test decorator which prints out the result.
Then add your test unit to this application.

If you run the console test application on the command-line,
specify options '--format=plain' and '--all'

The graphical application will show test results in a tree.

Re: [fpc-pascal] Testing applications with FPCUnit

2011-12-17 Thread Luciano de Souza

Michael,

I have a meaningful peculiarity: I am blind and I use Freepascal only in 
the console interface, reading all the output by means of my screen 
reader. Lazarus and Freepascal console IDE are both inaccessible. But, 
fortunately, for me, it's easy to call the compiler passing parameters 
at the command line.


I can compile using callings like:
fpc test.pas
fpc -XX test.pas
fpc test.pas -Fu./pas -FE./exe

I really thank Freepascal developers. The reachness of its command line 
allow me to access the features of the compiler.


For these reasons, it's not possible to open Lazarus and compile the 
project using its interface. My screen reader has an awful response in 
this environment.


After reading your message, I ask for a help. A friend told me fpcunit 
depends on FPCUnitConsole... Well, I don't remember exactly the name, 
but it's a Lazarus package.


Observe I need to compile in the console. If it's possible to run the 
executable, but it's not possible to compile in the command line, I 
won't be able to use FPCUnit.


You said that I need to use '--format=plain' '--all'. I tried:
fpc apptest.pas --format=plain -all
And also:
fpc apptest
apptest --format=plain -alll
But, in both cases, I got no result.
I don't know how to embody this parameters in my compilation tasks.

So I ask you: Is it possible to use FPCUnit only in the command line, it 
means, compiling and executing in console?


The idea of FPCUnit is really wonderful. I really would like to use it, 
but Lazarus dependences can complicate a lot.

You can compile Lazarus projects in the command line using lazbuild
which comes with Lazarus, like this:

lazbuild project.lpi

It will build all required projects and otherwise do everything the
IDE would do to build the project. The only catch might be if the
package requires a package that your Lazarus doesn't know. I don't
know which configuration file would need to be modified to tell
Lazarus where a package is without opening the IDE.

[fpc-pascal] Generics and Mac

I used generics in Lazarus code base for the first time, in TreeFilter
component:

  TTreeNodeList = specialize TFPGList;
and
  TBranchList = specialize TFPGObjectList;

I works for me on Windows and Linux, with FPC 2.4.4 and 2.6.0 RC1.
Now Zeljan reported it does not compile on Mac OSX 64-bit, using FPC 2.6.0

What can cause it? My generics usage is the most basic possible.

There are no Mac OS X-specific failures of generics tests in the testsuite (64 
bit or otherwise, Intel or PowerPC). There are no bug reports about it either. 
This is unlikely to have anything to do with Mac OS X, and most likely related 
to an installation/configuration problem.

Thanks.
Zeljan was in a hurry but he promised to make some basic tests with
generics tomorrow.
The strange thing is that everything except generics worked for him.
How can a config problem affect only generics but nothing else?
We will find out...

Re: [fpc-pascal] Testing applications with FPCUnit

2011-12-17 Thread Luciano de Souza

You would believe if I told you I could not compile yet?

It's not lack of effort, believe me. I really can't understand what is 
failing.


See my compilation script:

@echo off
set compilerpath="c:\lazarus\fpc\2.4.4\bin\i386-win32\fpc.exe"
set unitpath="-Fuc:\lazarus\fpc\units\i386-win32\* 
-Fuc:\lazarus\units\i386-win32\* -Fuc:\lazarus\lcl\units\i386-win32\*"

set debugerpath = ""c:\lazarus\mingw\bin\gdb.exe"
Set NormalParam="-XX"
set DebugParam="-g"

if "%1"=="" goto end else goto start

:start
if "%1"=="-n" goto normalmode
if "%1"=="-d" goto debugmode
if %1=="-g" goto debuger
goto end

:normalmode
%compilerpath% %2 %NormalParam% %unitpath%
goto end

:debugmode
%compilerpath% %2 %DebugParam% %unitpath%
goto end

:debuger
gdb %1
goto end

:end

When I do: "make -n {filename}", I got an error. "fileutil is not found".

But "fileutil" is in c:\lazarus\lcl\units\i386-win32" and this path is 
already added.


Actually, I added this path in fpc.cfg.

Lazbuild seems to simplify compilation using Lazarus. But as a 
parameter, it receives a LPI file. However, lpi files are created in 
Lazarus interface. The lack of accessibility of Lazarus is so big that 
even this task I could not do at Lazarus interface.


If LPI files are really necessary, I must create then manually.

It will build all required projects and otherwise do everything the
IDE would do to build the project. The only catch might be if the
package requires a package that your Lazarus doesn't know. I don't
know which configuration file would need to be modified to tell
Lazarus where a package is without opening the IDE.

lazbuild path/packagename.lpk

[fpc-pascal] alias a function + overload 'in'

2011-12-17 Thread David Emerson
two little questions

1. Is it possible to make an alias to a function ... so rather than just 
re-calling with the same parameters, it's actually the same thing? like the way 
we can do, e.g., type natural = cardinal, or const GG = 6, but with a function?

2. is it possible to overload the 'in' operator, so that it may work (using 
supplied code) on things that are not a pascal set?

Thanks!
~David.
