SizeOf(File) <> SizeOf(FileRec)

[Søren Ager]

Hi,

I have been playing around with Free Pascal for OS/2 but have stumbled
into a problem. I can't compile sockets.pas as SizeOf(File) <>
SizeOf(FileRec). So I made a test program - and it shows me that
userdata is only 16 bytes - how can that be? If I change the definition
of filerec other parts break! What is going on???

{$I filerec.inc}

type
   mytest = array[1..32] of byte;

begin
   writeln(sizeof(file));
   writeln(sizeof(filerec));
   writeln('----');

   writeln(sizeof(filerec.Handle));
   writeln(sizeof(filerec.Mode));
   writeln(sizeof(filerec.RecSize));
   writeln(sizeof(filerec._private));
   writeln(sizeof(filerec.UserData));
   writeln(sizeof(filerec.name));
   writeln(sizeof(mytest));
end.

Output:
332
316
----
4
4
4
32
16
256
32

Turns out my problem was that I had the rtl directories in my unit
paths. After I copied socket.pas and so32dll.pas to a new directory I am
now able to compile them (after I added the missing pieces of code).


Take care,

Hi Soren

Glad to see you here!

Are you willing to contribute your changes, so we could add unit
sockets to supported units for the OS/2 target? That should open
existing considerable codebase using this unit (primarily written for
Unix platforms) to OS/2.

Sure - as soon as it actually works... Right now it compiles but my
program crashes :-(

OK, let me know if there's anything I could help you with.
Unfortunately, PMGDB is somewhat less comfortable than VP/2 IDE. :-(

Thank you!!! I had not seen the PM version of GDB - it is still not the
same as VP/2 but it is a lot better that the text mode version.

Yes, it is. :-) If you encounter particular issues with GDB syntax,
just ask here. BTW (just in case you didn't know), one good thing
about GDB and the current environment is the possibility of post-
mortem debugging in case it crashed completely with a core dump
("core core" in (PM)GDB).

I didn't know that - thanks for the tip.

I have now compiled and run my first program without errors - but it
required me to manually modify the .s file before assembly and
linking... Here are the details:

In so32dll.pas I have:
function connect(sock:Longint; const s_addr:sockaddr;
s_addr_len:Longint):Longint; cdecl; external 'SO32DLL' index 3;

That is called from sockets.pas:
Function Connect(Sock:Longint;const Addr; Addrlen:Longint):Boolean;
begin
   Connect:=so32dll.Connect(Sock,so32dll.SockAddr(Addr),AddrLen)=0;
   if not Connect then
     SocketError:=so32dll.sock_errno
   else
     SocketError:=0;
end;

The code generated for that call is:
# [214] Connect:=so32dll.Connect(Sock,so32dll.SockAddr(Addr),AddrLen)=0;
     pushl   -12(%ebp)
     movl    -8(%ebp),%esi
     subl    $16,%esp
     movl    %esp,%edi
     cld
     movl    $16,%ecx
     rep
     movsb
     pushl   -4(%ebp)
     call    SO32DLL_CONNECT$LONGINT$SOCKADDR$LONGINT$$LONGINT

BUT that crashes the program in SO32DLL

I then changed it to:
# [214] Connect:=so32dll.Connect(Sock,so32dll.SockAddr(Addr),AddrLen)=0;
     pushl   -12(%ebp)
     pushl   -8(%ebp)
     pushl   -4(%ebp)
     call    SO32DLL_CONNECT$LONGINT$SOCKADDR$LONGINT$$LONGINT

Ant then it works!!

What do I need to do to make the compiler output that code so my program
can run without errors?


Take care,
   Søren

I believe the C const construct (const declaration in a call marked
as cdecl) is wrongly used in so32dll.connect (the meaning of this
construct in C is different from the Pascal "const" modifier). If
address of the record should be passed, use either "var" modifier
(which doesn't have a particular meaning in C and is thus "safe"), or
pass the pointer directly.

In addition, I'd be careful about alignment of record fields. It
seems the right size of 16 is used for SockAddr now, but it could
depend on used compiler options, so it's probably better to add
explicit {$PACKRECORDS 1} to so32dll.pas.

I am programming in Pascal so I can't see what C has to do with it ;-)
I am only interested in changing the caling convention - not the meaning
of the const which should be the same as var - with the exception that
you are not allowed to change the parameter. So you are saying there is
no way to make it behave like that? :-(

> If address of the record should be passed, use either "var" modifier

That works - but it is not optimal as I have to double buffer all calls
in the standard units from const to var. Sockets.pas:

Function Connect(Sock:Longint;const Addr; Addrlen:Longint):Boolean;
var
   sa : so32dll.SockAddr;
begin
   sa:=so32dll.SockAddr(Addr);
   Connect:=so32dll.Connect(Sock,sa,AddrLen)=0;
   if not Connect then
     SocketError:=so32dll.sock_errno
   else
     SocketError:=0;
end;

And it gets worse when I have an untyped buffer (as send does) - then I
will have to allocate memory - copy the contents - call the dll -
deallocate...

Done

No, const does not mean the same as var. For example, a "const a:
longint" parameter is passed by value.

You expect them to behave the same way as you're used to from Pascal,
but ask FPC to call the function in a way compatible to C by using a
cdecl modifier. ;-) Yes, the meaning of a cdecl modifier is somewhat
different in FPC from some other Pascal compilers - but it's designed
so for better compatibility with those C compilers?

My suggestion would be:

1) Provide the (relevant) library calls in so32dll.pas with two
(overloaded) versions, one with the more C-like approach using
pointers, the other more pascallish with var pointers.

2) Use the pointer version in sockets.pas - that's perfectly
compatible to the const parameters and is by the way the same what's
done for the Unix implementations using C library -
/rtl/inc/stdsock.inc (Unix implementations using kernel syscalls have
different calling convention).

Actually, it gets better there. ;-) Parameters cannot be passed on
stack if they are untyped, so they are passed by reference as
expected by you. That's another potential solution to your issue,
although I wouldn't recommend discarding the types in declarations in
cases these are known (e.g. in Connect), because that would remove
the advantage of Pascal type checking.

Yes, that's probably the best.

Send it to my address. I guess that in this case it's probably better
to send the whole file(s) and not just diffs. I'll modify the
Makefiles accordingly (unless you did that too) and commit it to SVN.

Hello everybody.

I discovered a very strange bug/issue and I don't know how to describe
it best as a bug-report.
(or am I doing something wrong?)
I try: a variable declared within a record, AccessViolates when set
later in code,
if declared at the "wong" place..?..

(environment: linux/i686 - fpc 2.0.0)
look at this small snipplet: (attached full testing.pas source for
reproduction):

//<-snip->
type Teumex_memory = record
     pin          : Tchange_string;
     // amtsbelegung : Tchange_bool;    // <-- leave it here, everything
is ok.
     msn          : array [0..9] of Tchange_string;
     port         : array [0..9] of Tchange_string;
     amtsbelegung : Tchange_bool;    // <-- put it there: Access
violation when amtsbelegung is set
end;
//<-snip->

This array goes from 0 till 9

And here you go from 1 to 10. The reason it doesn't crash in one case
and that it does crash in another case, is due to alignment differences
(in the "crash case", your record is bigger, so there is more chance
you will write beyond the boundary of allocated memory).

Thanks for the quick reply.
...I see, stupid me. :)

But when the position of "amtsbelegung : Tchange_bool;" is changed, no
AV occurs ..?
Reproducable?
Something about Memory Acces....  I think I got it.
