Re: [fpc-pascal] Set limitations

so it makes more sense to use a dedicated type instead (e.g. a hash set or something like that) I found these implementations of hash set (origial is from Java, as search shows): https://wiki.freepascal.org/LGenerics - hashset (unit lgHashSet) - fine-grained concurrent hashset (unit lgHashS

Re: [fpc-pascal] InterlockedExchangeAdd64

Is this really a bug? This depends on what you do in your ErrorProc implementation, doesn't it? Do a writeln the runtime number and break. But normally, a bus error, doesn't call into System.ErrorProc. Regards, Adriaan van Os ___ fpc-pascal mai

Re: [fpc-pascal] External library name

Having stumbled over this problem last year, I now have a very simple rule (and which seems to work). If you are linking with an external static library (e.g. libssl.a) then you omit the external library name on each function call, but must include a $LINKLIB e.g. ($LINKLIB ssl.a}. If you ar

I just ran into this… After a lot of doodling around and eventually fixing it myself, I found it was already fixed years ago, but the fix never made it to the version on SourceForge. It’s been fixed in the GitHub version in the Maint branch Here’s the link: https://github.com/graemeg/fpGUI/tree/
