Stability of LCL Classes? (Porting Project to Lazarus 1.8RC5)
« on: November 17, 2017, 06:53:45 am »
It seems that LCL classes are subject to change. This is problematic, as a project I work on contains bindings to the LCL that have become hard to maintain. An example follows. The solution was found, but is there a better way to track these changes? The release notes do not seem to contain all changes.

The following error is in reference to this unit.

Code: [Select]
procedure TControl_ShouldAutoAdjustLeftAndTop(const Params: PParamArray; const Result: Pointer); lape_extdecl
begin
  PBoolean(Result)^ := PControl(Params^[0])^.ShouldAutoAdjustLeftAndTop();
end;

Code: [Select]
lplclcontrols.pas(142,46) Error: identifier idents no member "ShouldAutoAdjustLeftAndTop"
Renamed and interface changed in this commit.

It's changed in trunk. You should use stable version if you need stable api.

Zeljko, it changed also in 1.8. Yes, it should be mentioned in release notes for sure. There seems to be a replacement function. The code should be easy to adjust.
Mostly Lazarus trunk and FPC 3.2 on Manjaro Linux 64-bit.
