[fpc-pascal] Error format in trunk changed (again)

2020-03-14 Thread Ryan Joseph via fpc-pascal
Here's an example of 2 error formats which changed across compiler version (I think -vbr gives the gcc style output). The first format is the one I thought was standard but the last time I updated trunk it changed to the second format (line:column:). Was this a mistake or did I mess something up

Hello Sven. OK, perfectly explained. Many thanks for all that infos. (It was needed to become Doctor es Enum). And a trick from a Doctor es Enum: "Always initialize by your self your enum before to use it". Fre;D - Many thanks ;-) -- Sent from: http://free-pascal-general.1045716.n5.na

Apologies if already suggested as there are a lot of messages in this thread - but would this meet your needs: tabulatorkindty = (tak_none=-1,tak_left,tak_right,tak_centered,tak_decimal); This ensures -1 is a valid enum value so tabulatorkindty(-1) should not raise a warning (I’ve not tried it

A possibility, using your enumeration is to change it from tabulatorkindty = (tak_left,tak_right,tak_centered,tak_decimal, tak_none); to tabulatorkindty = (tak_none,tak_left,tak_right,tak_centered,tak_decimal); so a field in an object is by default initialized to tak_none during the object's
