[fpc-pascal] strlen and nil
Hi, What does strlen return on nil? The FPC function strlen is implemented via FPC_PCHAR_LENGTH. The documentation does not say what happens when passing nil. Mattias ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Actually, from experience, that isn't even enough. What you want at the beginning is often irrelevant. What you want is the endresult of after you went through the whole development trajectory :-) ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
