Hi,
that is generating rather odd code (r40721)
project1.lpr:9 begin
00401090 55 push %rbp
00401091 4889e5 mov %rsp,%rbp

Hi,
I would definitely keep it that way.
As I see it: Redirection or not should not matter, the system should
assume console output.
Things like 'tee' make this concept dubious in any case:
If you pipe output to a program, you don't expect the codepage to change
because of the redirection.
Hi,
the line numbering of the json parser has been changed recently.
It used to say "Error at line 1"... when there was an error in the first
line, but now it says "Error at line 0"...
Was that on purpose, or can someone change it back?

Hi,
there are also two lines in the json scanner where it tries to repair
numbers with leading dots '.123' to '0.123':
If (FCurTokenString[1]='.') then

They should probably be removed. Not only are those numbers invalid in

Hi,
I am supposed to find invalid escape sequences when parsing JSON and
replace them with a user defined fallback. Invalid in the sense that the
unicode codepoint is not defined or a missing surrogate, not
syntactically invalid.
For example, any occurrence of \u and \uDEAD should be rep

You can just incrementally resize the return array, when reading

Hi,
where do the SEARCH_DIRs in link.res come from?

How are you specifying your cross-compilation sysroot? Make sure you use
the -XR parameter for that,
I use -Fl in ~/.fpc.cfg...
When I use -XR nothing happens. The link.res is the same, except -Fl
prepends the path to link.res and -XR just ignores it. (same for -Xr)

Hello,

prints x without y on win32/wine.
Is that supposed to happen?

Hi,
perhaps a safe, generic function for this copying could be added to the
RTL. Like:
Procedure ManagedMove(const source: T;var dest: T;count: SizeInt);
a) For non-managed types it would be the same as Move(source, dest,
count*sizeof(T))
b) For reference counted types (like strings or i
+ n*k calls, which is around a third of 3*n*k

The compiler will do this wrapping anyway if you use ansistrings, so the
