Assembling errors: bad instruction and size errors.
« on: September 03, 2019, 01:39:36 am »
Seems like the assembler generated a line exceding 256 chars and fails building for raspberry pi arm.
there's any way to extend the size allowed for a single line?

PROJECT\lib\arm-linux\BasicServicesSchemaClient_Intf.s:86470: Error: bad instruction `wrpr_$basicservicesschemaclient_intf_$$_tsesiones_historico_clientes_webdatatablerules_$_isesiones_historico_clientes_web_$_33_$_basicservicesschemaclient_intf$_$tsesiones_historico_clientes_webdatatablerules_$__$$_getid_sesiones_historico_webvalue$$ansis'

I do not have the problem, compiling trunk with bog standard English, but it looks like a natural language issue. I would report it as a bug, but do not forget to describe the natural language you are using.
(I compile FPC trunk daily for RPi 3/4 and less regularly for older Pi's or RPi zero's)

Specialize a type, not a var.

That could be, the assembler readers date from a period  when there was a lot of shortstring use.

If not trunk, then test trunk, and file a bug otherwise, preferably with an example (e.g. of code that generates such long symbols)

Thanks Marco, will try with trunk fpc.

BTW, I don't believe is a language issue, as Marco pointed is a shortstring usage problem in the assembly chain. The problem is that units is autogenerated and procedure names are really big.

Im testing trunk and comeback.

Best regards.

It is a natural language issue, because e.g. Spanish or Portuguese, but also under circumstances languages like French, Italian, Dutch or German, are - way - more verbose than English and therefor run out of shortstring space much earlier.
Marco seems to agree with me and understood what I was pointing at.
That also means it is a shortstring issue, but revealed by the issue as I explained.
Not a minor issue, since it requires a string type change in the compiler to be fixed properly.
Specialize a type, not a var.

If an English speaker named variables and procedures in a very very detailed way... will have the same problem... ::) Not a natural language issue at all.  :D
Let´s concentrate in the real problem.

BTW, can't  test In trunk compiler yet.Will try tomorrow.

Well it surfaced it.
