[fpc-devel] StrToInt -- Strange behaviour

[Ewald]

Hello,

Try running the following program and be amazed of the output:

    Program Test;

    Uses Sysutils;

    Begin
        WriteLn(StrToInt('x1'));
        WriteLn(StrToInt('x0'));
        WriteLn(StrToInt('xabcdef'));
    End.


Apparently the StrToInt function interprets strings starting with an `x`
as hexadecimal numbers? This behaviour seems rather strange to me
(strings starting with 0x would be a bit more understandable, but then
again, we're programming pascal here, not C) and it is not mentioned in
the documentation. What do I do with it?

A- File a bug concerning incomplete documentation?
B- File a bug concerning incorrect behaviour of StrToInt()?
C- Do nothing and live with it.
D- ....?
