[SOLVED] Is this an error in Format?
« on: November 12, 2012, 05:26:54 pm »
I have this code:
Code: [Select]
Memo1.Lines.Add(Format('ThreadID=%d; IntToStr(ThreadID)=%S', [ThreadID, IntToStr(ThreadID)]));
Which has this output:
Quote
ThreadID=-1215998176; IntToStr(ThreadID)=3078969120

FPC's Newer versions have the same problem?

I'm using Lazarus 0.9.30 FPC 2.4.4

Thanks in advance.-

For me it gives (using fpc 2.6.0 32-bit on Win7-64):
Code: [Select]
ThreadID=5372; IntToStr(ThreadID)=5372

Which OS are you using?
ThreadID isn't always of type integer, it depends on OS.

I'm using Linux 32. and ThreadID is defined as a LongWord.

Maybe the issue is already fixed in 2.6.0

Well, upgrade your fpc to 2.6.0 and give it a try and report back.

Unfortunately I can't do that for the moment.

It's been a long time since I need to upgrade my Lazarus an FPC but first I need to check I will not have problems with the components I use AND do extensive tests to my projects (due to modifications in FPC). This would take a couple of days which ATM (and since 0.9.30.2 is out) I don't have.

It works the same with FPC 2.7.1 SVN still. I found some other info though:
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/format.html

%d is signed integer
%u is unsigned integer

I alway have at hand the Format documentation page, and from time to time (when I need something special or different from usual) I read it again ...
