(Solved)No Idea what is wrong with this code.
« on: April 04, 2020, 05:24:50 am »
I get an error when I try to Compile but it doesn't highlight the line.
I just started commenting things to run it down but same error but wont compile.
 
Fatal: Syntax error, "BEGIN" expected but "end of file" found
How is that possible with everything commented.

Thanks for taking a look

Check your program (*.lpr file) or other units or project option settings. Your codes compiles well on my computer.

J, you need a 'begin' before the 'end' in implementation.

Hmm, but it compiles for egsuh ???

No.. You shouldn't need a "begin". When you create a new form, Lazarus will create a unit automatically, which do not have "begin" for the last "end.".  This should compile.

Here is what I did.

Select all, Copy

Started a new program and pasted what I copied into the new program.

1. Removed the comments of a procedure or function.
 2. Compiled
3. Repeated

No errors showed up.

Have no idea.

Because that isn't your main file..

Library files do not have a Begin and End in them but the main file does..

It would assume this to be a GUI app which means you didn't open your project vis the main file..

The main file has he Begin and END in it.

What you have here is an additional UNIT.. which is basically a library file that is not directly runnable which is why the compiler is complaining …

  I think what you did was open the UNIT1 FILE and not the project file..
The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing

First of it's not a library file, but a unit file (a library file starts with library) and second it's allowed to use begin in a unit which will then be equivalent to the initialization section (a finalization can't be used then). See here. :-X

That was a clerical error on my part but basically LIB like LIBS in the C/ASM days, you extract and static link it to your app...

 Excuse me for short circuiting the languages

Even then you need to be careful with the terms, because FPC supports linking those as well. ;)

I suspect, when you copied source code, maybe some non ascii or invinsible character is get copied too. I cant remember of Lazarus feature to turn on/off invinsible character but vscode has it which allow me to detect it when I copy piece of code from non plain text source.

Hi!

Please show us a copy of the compiler error message.

I assume that the error is in the lpr file - but who knows?

Winn I can't, sorry. The one line below is all I copied.

It was the first line and for some reason I couldn't copy the second line.

As I posted I copied out the code to Notepad++ and just started a new project.
I would copy a function or procedure one at a time into the new project, uncomment the code and compile. I was hoping to find the error that way but never got an error.

So, what was the second line?

Fatal: Syntax error, "BEGIN" expected but "end of file" found
Really strange. Was there no source-file in front of this message?

In Lazarus, if you right click the error message, can choose Copy > Copy all shown messages to clipboard.
You'll get the complete/all messages, like:
Code: [Select]
Compile Project, Target: C:\Users\Rik\AppData\Local\Temp\project1.exe: Exit code 1, Errors: 1
unit1.pas(25,0) Fatal: Syntax error, "BEGIN" expected but "end of file" found

Please post your lpr file.


I don't have access to that, I overwrote all that.

Hers is what I did. I created a text file. Did a Select All, Copy and pasted to the text file. Then i deleted all the files in the directory except the text file and started afresh. Pasted each procedure or function in the new program, removed the comments  and compiled.

When I was done no errors showed up.
