Assign int64 to int32 shows no warnings at compilation time.
« on: September 16, 2018, 09:45:26 pm »
The compilation of the following code does not show any warnings.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. procedure TForm1.Button9Click(Sender: TObject);
  2. var
  3.   d64: Int64;
  4.   d32: Int32;
  5. begin
  6.   d64 := Int64.MaxValue;
  7.   d32 := d64;    
  8. end;

Is it possible to have warnings when the assignment has a potential overflow?

did you enable range and overflow check?

Yes, but it only affects the runtime, does not it?

Yes it can. FPC has support for warning the developer of such mistakes. Simply add the dedicated -CO compiler parameter. Below it shows the compiler warning. In the test project I assigned a variable of type Int64 to a variable of type Int32.

Code: Text  [Select][+][-]
  1. $ fpc -CO -vh overflow.pas
  2. Hint: Start of reading config file /home/graemeg/.fpc.cfg
  3. Hint: End of reading config file /home/graemeg/.fpc.cfg
  4. Free Pascal Compiler version 3.0.4+dfsg-18ubuntu2 [2018/08/29] for x86_64
  5. Copyright (c) 1993-2017 by Florian Klaempfl and others
  6. Target OS: Linux for x86-64
  7. Compiling overflow.pas
  8. overflow.pas(11,7) Hint: Type size mismatch, possible loss of data / range check error
  9. Linking overflow
  10. /usr/bin/ld.bfd: warning: link.res contains output sections; did you forget -T?
  11. 14 lines compiled, 0.0 sec
  12. 3 hint(s) issued
  13.

Hello
I have "Type size mismatch, possible loss of data / range check error" Hint checked in the Compiler Options - Messages.
But Compiler doesn't show this Hint.
