GO32V2 Compiler internal error: EListError : List index exceeds bounds (9)
MartenR:
Hi there,
From time to time I run into an internal compiler error:
An unhandled exception occured at $00041DE2 :
EListError : List index exceeds bounds (9)
$00041D2
This problem seems to occur when a unit interface has changed between compilations.
A second compilation run of the same source usually does NOT solve the problem.
A fresh new full build does solve the problem.
Is this a known problem for the GO32V2 compiler version 2.6.2 [2013/02/12] for i386
for Target GO32 V2 DOS extender?
Note that the number in brackets may vary per case.

Ñuño_Martínez:
Did you tried the newer fpc 3 compiler? IIRC it has DOS support again.
MartenR:
Have tried installing a new fpc3, but something went wrong.
Still have to find what I should do about that.
Hence the question whether this would be a known bug that would be solved in a newer version.
Up to some time ago I did not have this problem with the 2.6.2. version.

Ñuño_Martínez:
Then I can't help you more. I don't use DOS for a long time.
Anyway, a few questions that may help:
I it cross-compiling or are you compiling in DOS?
What DOS are you using: MS-DOS, DR-DOS, FreeDOS, DOSbox...?
MartenR:
Eventually I suceeded in installing fpc3.
The thing seems to be that it now supports long file names (LFN).
The installation procedure checks for support of LFN by the OS it is installed on.
As my MSDOS 6.0 does not support LFN, it is switched off. However, this also means that by default some required parts are not installed, like the CRT unit. As a result I could not compile my program.
Only after setting the list of parts to be installed such that required parts are installed as well, the compilation with fpc3 on MSDOS 6.0 does work.
The next point is that, due to LFN support and/or UniCode support, the internal structure of TextRec has been changed. This causes a compilation error, since I do access its field "Name" with the StrIComp() function, which expects an array of char, but meets an array of widechar.
When all this has been solved (and anything else that may pop up) I may check for the compiler behaviour with respect to the original problem :-)
Until then, thank you for your support.
