no FPC Go32v2 maintainer(s) / Unicode kills us all (Announce)

posted by Laaca Homepage, Czech republic, 01.01.2011, 15:12

The useful and relatively easy job is to report bugs around DOS version of FPC. It seems it can motivate FPC developers to work even for DOS target.

Now they is one important issue examined (look here)

You can help if you test some development version (called snapshot) and try
to compile and run this source:
Procedure Confuse;
begin

end;


Procedure TestBug(chr:word);
begin
Confuse; {if you comment it, everything is fine even in Level 2}
Mem[$B800:0]:=byte(chr);
end;

begin
writeln(#13#10#13#10);
TestBug(42); {should print '*'}
readln;
end.

It should print asterix ("*") in left upper corner.
Try to set the compilation parameters in IDE and set "Optimalization level 2"
Then should be provoced a bug - nothing is displayed.

I need a confmitation by somebody about this bug.
