Re: [fpc-pascal] No official FPC 3.0 installer for Solaris
I had to change install.sh script again, as my previous change resulted in using gtar for TAR and tar for CMDTAR variable... which did not go well... I still get some errors while expanding that tar files, but the installation seems to complete correctly now.

[fpc-pascal] libevent for socket
Hi All, Could anyone help me with some samples of writing socket program with libevent, or is there any adapter/wrapper already exists for freepascal? Thanks! Xiangrong ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Huh, fpc is now the champion of assistive compiler mainly because of fpGUI and MSEgui, the best assisted-widgets in universe. Thank to Graeme and Martin.

[fpc-pascal] GUIDs under FreeBSD don't seem very random
I use GUID's as my primary key values in databases. tiOPF uses the following FPC functions to do this CreateGUID(lGUID); Result := GUIDToString(lGUID); I just noticed this difference between two of my databases. The following GUID's were generated a few minutes ago by FPC (under FreeBSD) when I imported some data. 43E119C8-B404-11E5-9B6C-C86000E37EB0 4421FB17-B404-11E5-9B6C-C86000E37EB0 445D3112-B404-11E5-9B6C-C86000E37EB0 449D1010-B404-11E5-9B6C-C86000E37EB0 44D8951B-B404-11E5-9B6C-C86000E37EB0 45225928-B404-11E5-9B6C-C86000E37EB0 455D0C9D-B404-11E5-9B6C-C86000E37EB0 45984546-B404-11E5-9B6C-C86000E37EB0 Another database of mine has GUID's as follows (records were created in 2011). 151A5024-B075-4331-B12D-FBD686AC4E19 37379F54-B5A7-4702-9A85-74253E2DC91E F62EE551-B4F1-4319-855A-EBFAF85BD17F E5F99902-92FC-46C1-944F-0F284592158B E4974D41-D5CD-4E0E-B943-F243DC300FF6 FF59C912-DE67-4EEA-BDFE-F7E4DEB41640 DD9B17EA-720F-43E7-814A-E06946024810 Note that the second (older) set of GUID's are much more random. Unfortunately I don't know what OS platform I used to generate that data - I think in was under a Linux system. My initial thought was that FPC 3.0 changed something, but then I recompiled by application with FPC 2.6.4 (FreeBSD) and imported some more data. The new GUID's generated appeared like the first set under both FPC 2.6.4 and 3.0 using FreeBSD. Remark: The first set don't appear to be very random - this is my worry. I'm about it import about 1-2 million records using a FreeBSD system. Is it something I need to worry about? Why is the one set of GUID's much more random looking than the others? I'm assuming FPC uses different algorithms depending on the OS platform. The FPC help seems to suggest this too. I just remembered about a *nix console tool "uuidgen" and ran it a couple of times on my FreeBSD system. The GUID's (or UUID's - not sure the difference) have the exact same format as the first set of GUID's above. So I'm assuming FPC is using FreeBSD's UUID generator under FreeBSD, so that would explain the similarity to the uuidgen tool. >From Wikipedia (GUID vs UUID) - The term GUID usually refers to Microsoft's implementation of the Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) standard. So am I to assume that I will still get unique values even if I generate 1-2 million records in succession?

Reading further on Wikipedia I now understand you get different versions of UUID's. My first set of values were Version 1 (MAC address & date-time) type, and the second set was a Version 4 (Random) set. That explains why they looked so different. > So am I to assume that I will still get unique values even if I generate > 1-2 million records in succession? From the Wikipedia explanation on how Version 1 UUID's are generated I think it is safe to assume that generating 1-2 million UUID's (aka GUID's) is succession should be fine and the likelihood of duplicates are still extremely small. Probability of duplicates (also from Wikipedia) ...snip... To put these numbers into perspective, the annual risk of a given person being hit by a meteorite is estimated to be one chance in 17 billion, which means the probability is about 0.006 (6 × 10−11), equivalent to the odds of creating a few tens of trillions of UUIDs in a year and having one duplicate. That's odds I'll accept for now. ;-) [Sorry for the mailing list noise.
