Zeos 7.2 and CT

[sternas]

Hello Guys
First of all, our respect for your excellent work.

We follow your SVN code for a long time, but at this alpha version of Zeos 7.2 we have problem
with FreePascal Circular unit reference limitations.

We can't register Zeos library to lab CodeTyphon.
Our suggestion is to "reconstruct" some units to /core folder and to move
some units from "implementation uses section" to "interface uses session"
in order to solve the above CT registration problem.

We can send a some modifications (on this programming line) of Zeos library here.
We waiting for you response
have fun

hi,
you're more than welcome to tell us where the problem comes from. I must admit it also poses problems in my Lazarus installation. and for some reason I had to add new source paths to my buildscripts. I guess you found the reason.
so, please tell us how you fixed it.
maybe a Sun diff against the 7.2 branch?

Hi sternas,

im glad to see you here, my CodeTyphoon-hero! (i miss your avatar )

Well we'll try to support you where ever we can. I'm wondering about your report since loads of peoples using 7.2up for FPC/LCL and latest compilation issues for non-win OS's seems to be fixed.

So i do welcome you attach a patch or an more detailed issue report. I'll check it as soon as possible and see what happens on our side.

Btw. GREAT WORK!!!!

[sternas]

Thanks Guys
give me one day to prepare the zips...

[EgonHugeist]

You are welcome!

Best practice would be using the \testing-7.2 branch. Mark will merge the changes to trunk after a periode of a week or two. (or after the holliday seasion, of course)

Solution for CodeTyphon.

I forced to rebuild after ZEOS (I deleted the corresponding lib directories):
\codetyphon\typhon\components\lazreport\
\codetyphon\typhon\components\pl_RX\
They should be rebuilt each time the ZEOS changed

Of course I added core/ZFastCode.pas in package.

Sorry guys for the delay programming time is endless...
Yes, this is our problem :

Code: Select all

Recompiling ZMessages, checksum changed for ZEncoding
ZMessages.pas(11,21) Fatal: Can't find unit ZMessages used by ZSysUtils

To solve this problem we make a lot of changes to Zeos 7.2 (trunk SVN Rev 3016)
http://www.pilotlogic.com/codetyphon/te ... _720-3.zip

We want to stay at Zeos 7.1.2 for next CT release of stability.

Oh, in lab CT ver 4.7 we add pl_Win_OleDB for ADO support on Windows.

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year...

@sternas, @EgonHugeist, @mdaems

Sternas,
In my opinion:
- ZEOS 7.2(R3026) is now no less stable than ZEOS 7.1(R2996).
- the problem are the library 'pl_RX' and 'lazreport' in CodeTyphon which depend on ZEOS and should be built after ZEOS and rebuilt after changes in ZEOS.

You did a sizable piece of work.
We'll see what opinions have Michael and Mark.

(Directory 'resources' is not necessary. All required resources(icons) are now in ZEOS directory 'src'('source' in CodeTyphon).)

@sternas

man what a patch! Sternas i did study your changes last days. You really did a loads of work.

Personally for me, this patch is a bit to.. we would have problems to maintain code which is moved to the inc-files. So i had to pass, sorry, really. BUT you gave me the final ideas what was wrong (for FPC only btw.) So i did remove all circular references from ZEncoding.pas, ZFastCode.Pas and ZSysUtils.pas.

Patch done R3041 \testing-7.2

On my side it works now like a charme. Mark also did confirm it works. Miab3: http://zeoslib.sourceforge.net/viewtopi ... &start=170

I agree with Michal. The current 7.2 is a pure bug AND performance fix. IMO you don't need to worry about using 7.2. But coding is going on. I perfonally plan some more refactorings and changes. So going Beta will take a while. Actually i can't say when we plan to change this attribute.
For us it would be helpfull if we could get some more testers from CT. The latest patches will be moved to \trunk in a week.

Thank's again sternas. Your welcome. If we can support CT a bit more: Let us know it!

[EgonHugeist]

@sternas

*push* .... did you test the changes? Is there more weired i actually can't see?

@sternas

*push* .... did you test the changes? Is there more weired i actually can't see?

Yes, we test ver Zeos 7.2.0 (sync 17-3-2014 SVN trunk Rev 3107 )
with FPC (FreePascal 2.7.1 Source 18-3-2014 SVN Rev 27179)
and all OK on:
-Windows xp, win7 and win8 32/64
-Linux Debian 7.4, Ubuntu 13.10 32/64
-FreeBSD ver 9.2 and 10.0 32/64
-Solaris ver 11.1 32/64
-OpenIndiana build 151a9 (it's new) 32/64

Thanks Guys, next CT ver 4.8 will have trunk ZEOS

PS: in ZEncoding.pas line 672, a small typo error on UNIX OSes

Code: Select all

 {$ELSE}             //2013-10-13 mse
  //var  
    {$IF defined(PWIDECHAR_IS_PUNICODECHAR) and not defined(FPC_HAS_BUILTIN_WIDESTR_MANAGER)}
     var  // 9999 for CodeTyphon
     WS: UnicodeString;
    {$IFEND}

[EgonHugeist]

Thanks for reply, Sternas.

Does the typo still persits? Current code:

Code: Select all

  {$IFDEF MSWINDOWS}
  var
    ulen: Integer;
  {$ELSE}             //2013-10-13 mse
    {$IF defined(PWIDECHAR_IS_PUNICODECHAR) and not defined(FPC_HAS_BUILTIN_WIDESTR_MANAGER)}
