ggled with that error too. It seems you must save the project once before you can compile it. After the first save, you can make changes and recompile without saving again, but that first save seems to be crucial. Jeff Miller (Otago)___ fpc-pasca

Re: [fpc-pascal] Special math. functions (erf, erfc, ...)

2006-12-17 Thread Jeff Miller
This is slightly off-topic, but nonetheless somewhat relevant to these special math functions... Can anyone explain what is the precision of fpc's built-in math functions like sqrt, ln, exp, and so on? According to the online documentation, these take a ValReal argument and return a ValReal resu

[fpc-pascal] Precision of sqrt, exp, ln, etc?

2006-08-27 Thread Jeff Miller
I am wondering about the precision of the functions like sqrt, ln, exp, and so on. According to the online documentation, these take a ValReal argument and return a ValReal result: e.g.: function sqrt(d: ValReal):ValReal; What is ValReal? (It would be ideal if these functions would take argumen

figure out how to elaborate on this idea. (Google gives lots of hits, but they all just seem to use tSTARTUPINFO, not to document it.) If you have any further guidance on that, I'd appreciate it. Thanks for your efforts, in any case. Jeff Miller ___
