[fpc-devel] Strange behaviour with Synapse

[Geoffray Levasseur-Brandin]

Hi everybody,

I'm mailing you as I have a very strange behaviour of a program I'm making 
using FPC 2.6.2 and Lazarus from trunk (updated this morning). As far as I 
know it's either a compiler bug or a Synapse bug. Let me explain...

The project is a GUI for the Spack package manager used by a Linux 
distribution I'm co-developing (4 users actually and only for developers and 
only in French, so no chance you have it). The problem happens with the 
download manager I've created based on Synapse. The first file is downloaded 
correctly but when switching to second one I've got a runtime error 216 
(access violation). The strange thing is when debugging with F7/F8 in the IDE, 
everything runs OK: no error any more (so my code should not be in cause).

You can find full source code and testing files here :
svn://svn.tuxfamily.org/svnroot/geofperspage/gppsvn/trunk/0linux-gui

After checking out, you'll have to change few things in the code :
 - in common/ucommon.pas: the paths given for testing would be change 
accordingly to your where you checked out the project
 - in spackgui/frmabout.pas: I'm using the Lazarus' source code to have 
version info: remove it or change it accordingly. (Note : I'm looking for a 
way to get this without looking to Lazarus source code)

As this is very specific to Linux, this project is Linux only, sorry...

For non French speaking, most of the interface is in French, nevertheless all 
debugging messages, identifiers and comments are in English so this should not 
be a big problem.

Thank you for any help !
