[SOLVED] matrix unit not found
« on: May 25, 2018, 01:32:35 pm »
I have a project using matrix unit (https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/matrix/index.html) but I have problems using it on my Mac (fpc 3.0.4 lazarus 1.8.2).
If I add the matrix unit to my application it is not found correctly, instead of matrix unit lazarus points to a matrix.pp program located in fpcsrc/tests/bench/shootout/obsolete/matrix.pp
Both using carbon or cocoa. I got it even with a new project.

Here a snippet of the program that lazarus found instead of matrix unit.
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. { Matrix Multiplication }
  2.  
  3. program matrix;
  4. uses SysUtils;
  5.  
  6. const
  7.     size = 30;
  8.  
  9. type tMatrix = array[0..size, 0..size] of longint;        

Any hint?

If you need a unit called matrix, don't call your program matrix....
Specialize a type, not a var.

And I don't.
I just create a new application (project1) and here it is the source:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. unit Unit1;
  2.  
  3. {$mode objfpc}{$H+}
  4.  
  5. interface
  6.  
  7. uses
  8.   Classes, SysUtils, FileUtil, Forms, Controls, Graphics, Dialogs, matrix;
  9.  
  10. type
  11.   TForm1 = class(TForm)
  12.   private
  13.     ms: Tmatrix3_single;
  14.   public
  15.  
  16.   end;
  17.  
  18. var
  19.   Form1: TForm1;
  20.  
  21. implementation
  22.  
  23. {$R *.lfm}
  24.  
  25. end.
  26.  

If I try to navigate to matrix unit the matrix.pp program source is opened.

Any hint?
The source is located here: [fpc source dir]\packages\rtl-extra\src\inc
On my Lazarus with FPC bundled install the compiled unit is located here: [fpc compiled units dir]\x86_64-win64\rtl-extra

How did you install FPC (package manager, compile from source ...)? To me it seems as if the rtl-extra package isn't installed on your Mac.

If I try to navigate to matrix unit the matrix.pp program source is opened.
matrix.pp is not a program, but a unit.

How do you navigate? If you CTRL+click on the name of the unit "matrix" the IDE will open the source file of unit matrix.pp at the top.
If you CTRL+click on the word "tmatrix3_single" in your code the IDE will jump to the implementation (or interface) of this type. It is in matrix.pp, too.

I navigate using CTRL+click, if I CTRL+click on the name of matrix unit matrix.pp is opened (/usr/local/share/fpcsrc/tests/bench/shootout/obsolete/matrix.pp). See image.

If I CTRL+click on tmatrix3_single nothing happen.

I installed lazarus (1.8.2) and fpc (3.0.4) from source forge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Mac%20OS%20X%20i386/Lazarus%201.8.2/). All the 3 dmg files.
Everything works as expected (I am using it for production) except this strange behaviour for matrix unit.

If I navigate through terminal I can find the correct matrix.pp here [fpc source dir]/packages/rtl-extra/src/inc, lazarus doesn't.

If I do this:

uses
  matrix in ''/usr/local/share/fpcsrc/packages/rtl-extra/src/inc/matrix.pp'';

Ctrl+click works as expected both for matrix name and tmatrix3_single.

Eventually there are variable that could I use instead of specifying the whole absolute path?

Which paths are specified in "Options" > "Compiler options" > "Paths" of your project?

When I create a new project in Lazarus ("File" > "New" > "Project" > "Simple program") the path "Other unit files" is empty. And the following program compiles and runs correctly, and CTRL+Click on TMatrix3_single leads to the correct file:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. program Project1;
  2.  
  3. uses
  4.   matrix;
  5.  
  6. var
  7.   m: Tmatrix3_single;
  8.  
  9. begin
  10.   m.Init(11, 12, 13, 21, 22, 23, 31, 32, 33);
  11.   WriteLn(m.data[0,0]:0:3);
  12.   ReadLn;
  13. end.

Moreover, look at the paths shown in fpc.cfg. Your path /usr/local/share/fpcsrc/tests/bench/shootout/obsolete (or part of it) should not be mentioned.

Ok reverse my answer
"If you need a unit called matrix, don't call your program matrix...."
Instead:
Search for a program file called "program matrix;" (with find in files...) and delete it.
Problem solved.

Actually I suspect this is a small bug in Lazarus: lpr and lpi (project files) are handled correctly, but .pp and .pas files can also be programs...... Who'll pick it up?

Note that anyway you or someone who has access to your computer wrote a program called matrix....Rename it or delete it.
Even worse: it is probably in your sourcecode root directory, otherwise Laz would pick up the unit, not the program .....< Uhh, I politely ask to re-introduce grumpy ...  >:D >:D >:D  O:-)>

Really? If there is a program "matrix.pp" somewhere on my disk how will Lazarus/fpc be able to find it? I still believe that something is messed up in the paths of OP's installation.

No. I can repeat it and reproduce it on at least three platforms: write a
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. program matrix;begin end.
is enough. On all platforms. Write it with "copy con" on windows or fp or vim on linux and save it with extension .pp or .pas . Then start something like *his* project in Laz and in the same directory: F*cked up...
Lazarus relies too much on the silly .lpi file....

Which matrix.pp will come first? Come on, you know which....

But *he* must have written that first, get it? And it is the sourcecode, not any binary.

Up in reply #5 the OP writes that the guilty matrix.pp is in /usr/local/share/fpcsrc/tests/bench/shootout/obsolete/matrix.pp. This is a folder belonging to fpc and certainly NOT his project folder.

Well  /usr/local/share/fpcsrc/tests/bench/shootout/obsolete/matrix.pp is a program.... And I don't even have it.... (well that's funny.... :o )
Since there is no lpi for that program and his path is somehow pointing to that path *before* his library paths things get f*cked up.
And if you reproduce my steps you know why.

Specialize a type, not a var.

The issue has been fixed in Laz trunk by Mattias Gaertner. It was an issue in codetools.

apeoperaio, if you want to patch your Lazarus version 1.8.2, you should do this:
  • In folder components/codetools/ open the file fpcsrcrules.inc
  • Immediately after line 13 (Score:=-10) add the line Add('tests');
  • Save and recompile the IDE.
