Linux: wrong enum size

[Alexander Sviridenkov 356]

Looks like there is bug in 10.3 Linux compiler: maximum enum size is limited to 8 bytes. F.e.

 

type

 TMyEnum = (a1, a2, ..a100);

 TMyEnums = set of TMyEnum;

var X: TMyEnums;

sizeof(X) returns 8 on Linux platform.

Is there a QP report for this?

[Lars Fosdal 1792]

program LargeEnumSet;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

{$R *.res}

uses
  System.SysUtils;

type
  TLargeEnum = (
    e000, e001, e002, e003, e004, e005, e006, e007, e008, e009, e010, e011, e012, e013, e014, e015, e016, e017, e018, e019,

  Writeln('SizeOf = ', SizeOf(LargeEnumSet));
  for Enum in LargeEnumSet

    try

output on Win32 and Win64

SizeOf = 25

What is the output on Linux?

[Alexander Sviridenkov 356]

Output is the same, but in debugger Evaluate/Modify window Sizeof(LargeEnumSet) shows 8.

Sizeof(LargeEnumSet) is calculated at compile time, in asm code there is explicit $19

[Alexander Sviridenkov 356]

Another test:

 

  if e191 in LargeEnumSet then
    Writeln('YES');

 

No YES in output.

[Lars Fosdal 1792]

You should register a QP, unless there already is one.

[Lars Fosdal 1792]

Eval looks ok on Windows.

 

and your added e191 test writes a yes

[Lars Fosdal 1792]

What happens on Android, MacOS or iOS?

Those are also LLVM compilers.

[Stano 143]

Unfortunately, the debugger often shows incorrect values

Changing "this setup" have some relevance for your case?

• Double Word = LongInt (if I dont wrong) - non-signed = SizeOf = 4bytes = 2^32-1 ... 0 to 4,294,967,295 = Cardinal
• using "Minimum enum size = Double Word", the "type" have 4bytes of size - not a "var" !!!
  • as necessary "re-build" the .DCU to recreate new compiled code!

How mininum enume size may affect this case? This test enum is larger than maximum setting for "Minimum enum size" parameter.

did you test it in your Linux 64? have a relevance in your resulted?

maybe "minimun" would stay better if "maximun" but... is a Embarcadero domain!

for "specific point", yes. for all project, better on .dproj
