How to get the value of the variable after compilation?
var a,b,c: integer;
begin
a := 5;
b := 6;
c := a+b;
end;
cc := IntTostr(????c????);

You have two options:
You can register a function with
Sender.AddDelphiFunction('procedure MyOwnFunction(Data: string)');
and
Exec := TPSExec.Create; // Create an instance of the executer.
Exec.RegisterDelphiFunction(#MyOwnFunction, 'MYOWNFUNCTION', cdRegister);
and then call it from within your script.
Alternatively, you can define your script as a function and set the Result. Then you can retrieve it with
TestFunc := TTestFunction(Exec.GetProcAsMethodN('Test'));
Both methods are demonstrated in this example:
program sample8;
uses
uPSCompiler,
uPSRuntime,
uPSUtils,
Dialogs;
procedure MyOwnFunction(const Data: string);
begin
// Do something with Data
ShowMessage(Data);
end;
{$IFDEF UNICODE}
function ScriptOnExportCheck(Sender: TPSPascalCompiler; Proc: TPSInternalProcedure; const ProcDecl: AnsiString): Boolean;
{$ELSE}
function ScriptOnExportCheck(Sender: TPSPascalCompiler; Proc: TPSInternalProcedure; const ProcDecl: string): Boolean;
{$ENDIF}
{
The OnExportCheck callback function is called for each function in the script
(Also for the main proc, with '!MAIN' as a Proc^.Name). ProcDecl contains the
result type and parameter types of a function using this format:
ProcDecl: ResultType + ' ' + Parameter1 + ' ' + Parameter2 + ' '+Parameter3 + .....
Parameter: ParameterType+TypeName
ParameterType is # for a normal parameter and ! for a var parameter.
A result type of 0 means no result.
}
begin
if Proc.Name = 'TEST' then // Check if the proc is the Test proc we want.
begin
if not ExportCheck(Sender, Proc, {$IFDEF UNICODE}[btUnicodeString, btUnicodeString]{$ELSE}[btString, btString]{$ENDIF}, [pmIn]) then // Check if the proc has the correct params.
begin
{ Something is wrong, so cause an error. }
Sender.MakeError('', ecTypeMismatch, '');
Result := False;
Exit;
end;
Result := True;
end else Result := True;
end;
{$IFDEF UNICODE}
function ScriptOnUses(Sender: TPSPascalCompiler; const Name: AnsiString): Boolean;
{$ELSE}
function ScriptOnUses(Sender: TPSPascalCompiler; const Name: string): Boolean;
{$ENDIF}
{ the OnUses callback function is called for each "uses" in the script.
It's always called with the parameter 'SYSTEM' at the top of the script.
For example: uses ii1, ii2;
This will call this function 3 times. First with 'SYSTEM' then 'II1' and then 'II2'.
}
begin
if Name = 'SYSTEM' then
begin
Sender.AddDelphiFunction('procedure MyOwnFunction(Data: string)');
{ This will register the function to the script engine. Now it can be used from within the script. }
Result := True;
end else
Result := False;
end;
type
TTestFunction = function (const s: string): string of object;
// Header of the test function, added of object.
procedure ExecuteScript(const Script: string);
var
Compiler: TPSPascalCompiler;
{ TPSPascalCompiler is the compiler part of the scriptengine. This will
translate a Pascal script into a compiled form the executer understands. }
Exec: TPSExec;
{ TPSExec is the executer part of the scriptengine. It uses the output of
the compiler to run a script. }
{$IFDEF UNICODE}Data: AnsiString;{$ELSE}Data: string;{$ENDIF}
TestFunc: TTestFunction;
begin
Compiler := TPSPascalCompiler.Create; // create an instance of the compiler.
Compiler.OnUses := ScriptOnUses; // assign the OnUses event.
Compiler.OnExportCheck := ScriptOnExportCheck; // Assign the onExportCheck event.
Compiler.AllowNoBegin := True;
Compiler.AllowNoEnd := True; // AllowNoBegin and AllowNoEnd allows it that begin and end are not required in a script.
if not Compiler.Compile(Script) then // Compile the Pascal script into bytecode.
begin
Compiler.Free;
// You could raise an exception here.
Exit;
end;
Compiler.GetOutput(Data); // Save the output of the compiler in the string Data.
Compiler.Free; // After compiling the script, there is no need for the compiler anymore.
Exec := TPSExec.Create; // Create an instance of the executer.
Exec.RegisterDelphiFunction(#MyOwnFunction, 'MYOWNFUNCTION', cdRegister);
if not Exec.LoadData(Data) then // Load the data from the Data string.
begin
{ For some reason the script could not be loaded. This is usually the case when a
library that has been used at compile time isn't registered at runtime. }
Exec.Free;
// You could raise an exception here.
Exit;
end;
TestFunc := TTestFunction(Exec.GetProcAsMethodN('Test'));
if #TestFunc <> nil then
ShowMessage('Result from TestFunc(''test indata''): '+TestFunc('test indata'));
Exec.Free; // Free the executer.
end;
const
Script = 'function test(s: string): string; begin MyOwnFunction(''Test Called with param: ''+s); Result := ''Test Result: ''+s; end;';
begin
ExecuteScript(Script);
end.

Object within another Object not persisting between units Delphi

Sorry if this question is a duplicate but I couldn't find any solution to my problem anywhere...
The code below shows how I'm assigning values from a listview into an object that is a property of another object:
Main Unit:
procedure TForm1.SBCadClick(Sender: TObject);
var
Procedimento: TProcedimento;
Produto: TItemProcedimento;
item: TListViewItem;
begin
...
Procedimento := TProcedimento.Create;
for item in LVItensProcedimento.Items do
begin
Produto := TItemProcedimento.Create;
Produto.PRO_ID := item.Tag;
Produto.IPR_Uso := TListItemText(item.Objects.FindDrawable('IPR_Uso'))
.Text.ToDouble;
Procedimento.AddPRC_Produtos(Produto);
Produto.DisposeOf;
end;
DM.gravaProcedimento(Procedimento); // from here we go into another unit to use its function, passing an object as a parameter
Before the command DM.gravaProcedimento(Procedimento); the produto is correctly being added to the TObjectList of TProcedimento, I can get its contents correctly with Procedimento.GetPRC_Produtos. But when I debug the next unit shown below, its getting random IDs that means its not being persisted from one unit to the other:
unit DM:
procedure TDM.gravaProcedimento(Procedimento: TProcedimento);
var
produto: TItemProcedimento;
dura: string;
begin
...
produto := TItemProcedimento.Create;
for produto in Procedimento.GetPRC_Produtos do
begin
DM.FDQ.Append;
DM.FDQ.FieldByName('PRO_ID').AsInteger := produto.PRO_ID; // here the value gets a random ID like 45684 instead of the current item ID
DM.FDQ.FieldByName('PRC_ID').AsInteger := Procedimento.PRC_ID;
DM.FDQ.FieldByName('IPR_Uso').AsFloat := produto.IPR_Uso;
DM.FDQ.Post;
end;
produto.DisposeOf;
DM.FDQ.ApplyUpdates;
DM.FDQ.Close;
end;
This is the class definition of my objects:

Any particular reason why this is happening? What am I doing wrong here?
The problem is that you are destroying the TItemProcedimento objects before gravaProcedimento() has a chance to use them.
You are calling Produto.DisposeOf() immediately after Procedimento.AddPRC_Produtos(Produto) exits, and also in gravaProcedimento(), too. DO NOT DO THAT!
AddPRC_Produtos() saves the original Produto object into a TObjectList, which takes ownership of the object (as TObjectList is set to OwnsObjects=True by default). That means the object will be destroyed automatically when it is removed from the list, which includes when the list is cleared or destroyed.
So, you need to get rid of your DisposeOf() calls completely.
Also, you need to get rid of the call to TItemProcedimento.Create in gravaProcedimento(), too. It does not belong there. All you are doing by that is creating a memory leak on non-ARC systems.
It seems you do not have a firm grasp of how Delphi object lifetimes actually work. You DO NOT need to call Create on an object variable before assigning an object instance to it. And you DO NOT need to call DisposeOf() on an object variable when you are doing using the variable, only when you are done using the object itself (which TObjectList will handle for you).
Try this instead:
procedure TForm1.SBCadClick(Sender: TObject);
var
Procedimento: TProcedimento;
Produto: TItemProcedimento;
item: TListViewItem;
begin
...
Procedimento := TProcedimento.Create;
try
for item in LVItensProcedimento.Items do
begin
Produto := TItemProcedimento.Create;
try
Produto.PRO_ID := item.Tag;
Produto.IPR_Uso := TListItemText(item.Objects.FindDrawable('IPR_Uso')).Text.ToDouble;
Procedimento.AddPRC_Produtos(Produto);
// Produto.DisposeOf; // <-- DO NOT DO THIS HERE!!!
except
Produto.DisposeOf; // <-- DO THIS HERE INSTEAD, if AddPRC_Produtos fails!!!
raise;
end;
end;
DM.gravaProcedimento(Procedimento);
finally
Procedimento.DisposeOf; // <-- ADD THIS, if needed!!!
end;
end;
procedure TDM.gravaProcedimento(Procedimento: TProcedimento);
var
produto: TItemProcedimento;
dura: string;
begin
...
// produto := TItemProcedimento.Create; // <- DO NOT DO THIS!!!
for produto in Procedimento.GetPRC_Produtos do
begin
FDQ.Append;
try
FDQ.FieldByName('PRO_ID').AsInteger := produto.PRO_ID;
FDQ.FieldByName('PRC_ID').AsInteger := Procedimento.PRC_ID;
FDQ.FieldByName('IPR_Uso').AsFloat := produto.IPR_Uso;
FDQ.Post;
except
FDQ.Cancel; // <-- ADD THIS!!!
raise;
end;
end;
// produto.DisposeOf; // <-- DO NOT DO THIS!!!
FDQ.ApplyUpdates;
FDQ.Close;
end;
You should not call Produto.DisposeOf in procedure TForm1.SBCadClick.
You are destroying the object you have just added..

How to fix Access Violation at address in Delphi

I'm new to delphi and am trying to start OOP. However I get an access violation when using public property to set a private field.
type
User = class;
TData = class
private
CurrUser: User;
Connection: TFDConnection;
Query: TFDQuery;
procedure SetUser(newUser: User);
procedure SetConnection(newConn: TFDConnection);
procedure SetQuery(newQry: TFDQuery);
public
property CUser: User read CurrUser write SetUser;
property Conn: TFDConnection read Connection write SetConnection;
property Qry: TFDQuery read Query write SetQuery;
class procedure Login(uID: integer); static;
class procedure Logout(uID: integer); static;
class procedure ExitApp(); static;
end;
implementation
{$R *.fmx}
procedure TData.SetUser(newUser: User);
begin
CurrUser := newUser;
end;
procedure TData.SetConnection(newConn: TFDConnection);
begin
Connection := newConn;
end;
procedure TData.SetQuery(newQry: TFDQuery);
begin
Query := newQry;
end;
I expect to be able to set the Connection using that property however it gives me the access violation with any code that uses the property write:
TData.Conn.LoginPrompt := False;
TData.Conn.Connected := True;
var
TData: frmData.TData;
LoginForm: TLoginForm;
ErrorCount : integer;
implementation
{$R *.fmx}
procedure TLoginForm.ExitAppButtonClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
TData.ExitApp;
end;
procedure TLoginForm.LoginButtonClick(Sender: TObject);
var
companyPath : string;
nurseID : integer;
begin
if(UsernameInput.Text = '') or (PasswordInput.Text = '') or (PincodeInput.Text = '') then
begin
ShowMessage('Please enter your login details.');
Exit;
end;
try
TData.Conn := TFDConnection.Create(nil);
TData.Conn.Params.DriverID := 'MSAcc';
TData.Conn.Params.Database := 'D:\PulseDB\AlfaPersonnel\Pulse.mdb';
TData.Conn.LoginPrompt := False;
TData.Conn.Connected := True;
if(TData.Conn.Connected <> True) then
begin
ShowMessage('Could not connect, try again');
Exit;
end
else //When Connection
begin
TData.Qry := TFDQuery.Create(TData.Conn);
try
TData.Qry.Connection := TData.Conn;
TData.Qry.SQL.Text := 'SELECT * FROM NurseLogin WHERE Username=:uname AND Password=:pword AND PinCode=:pin;';
TData.Qry.Params.ParamByName('uname').AsString := UsernameInput.Text;
TData.Qry.Params.ParamByName('pword').AsString := PasswordInput.Text;
TData.Qry.Params.ParamByName('pin').AsString := PincodeInput.Text;
TData.Qry.Active := True;
if TData.Qry.RecordCount = 0 then ShowMessage('Details not recognised.')
else if TData.Qry.RecordCount = 1 then
begin
if TData.Qry.FieldByName('IsActive').AsBoolean then //If the user is active
begin
try
//Connect to the path
companyPath := TData.Qry.FieldByName('CompanyName').AsString;
TData.Conn.Params.Database := 'D\PulseDB\' + companyPath + '\Pulse.mdb';
TData.Conn.Connected := True;
ShowMessage('Connected to ' + companyPath);
finally
end;
end;
end;
finally
end;
end;
finally
end;
end;
You don't ever create an instance of your TData class. At some point you need to write:
TData := frmData.TData.Create;
Which is how you instantiate an instance. And you need to destroy it when you are finished also. Like this:
TData.Free;
That you did not instantiate an instance is the explanation for your access violation.
Some other issues:
Use the T prefix for types. Your variable should be named Data rather than TData.
Don't use global variables if at all possible.

Lazarus Pascal -- Class methods can't acces to private members

I am having an issue with Pascal-Lazarus (Linux):
The class methods can't acces the members. It isn't a compiler mistake, but a runtime error. (SIGSEV)
For more informations: i am using Linux with the newest version (16_4) and Lazarus Pascal (16.0). My system type is x86_64
the code:
unit compiler_code;
{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
interface
uses
Classes, SysUtils, FileUtil, Forms, Controls, Graphics, Dialogs, StdCtrls;
type
{ TForm1 }
TForm1 = class(TForm)
Button1: TButton;
procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
private
{ private declarations }
public
{ public declarations }
end;
TLine = class
public //public methods
procedure setLine(i: string); //setter for the line.
procedure compileLine(); //just runs the different methods of the class
private //private members
var m_string : string;
var m_stringLength : integer;
private //private methods
function deleteBlanks (i: string) : string;
procedure getStringLength();
end;
var Form1: TForm1;
var Zeile: TLine;
implementation
{ TForm1 }
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
Zeile.setLine ('Hallo');
Zeile.compileLine ();
end;
/////////////////////////Implementation of the Methods of TLine
procedure TLine.setLine(i: string); //Setter --> no getter needed.
begin
showmessage (i);
showmessage (m_string); //here is where the issue comes up
//m_string:= i;
end;
procedure TLine.compileLine(); //runs all of the Methods.
begin
getStringLength (); // gets the length of the String-input
m_string := deleteBLanks(m_string); //deletes all of the blank space inside the String.
end;
function TLine.deleteBlanks (i: string) : string; //blankSpace-Deleter
var isText : boolean = false; //switch, to check, if the momentary Character is text or not.
var counter: integer = 0; //counts the number of cycles of the loop
begin
while ((counter < m_stringLength) and (not (m_stringLength = 0))) do //the 'Loop'
begin
if ((m_string[counter] = ' ') and (not(isText))) then
begin
delete (m_string, counter, 1); //deletes the blank position
dec (counter); //because there is a position less in the string now.
getStringLength(); //regenerates the length of the String;
end;
end;
end;
procedure TLine.getStringLength ();
begin
m_stringLength:= length (m_string); //gets the Length of the String input.
end;
{$R *.lfm}
end.
The explanation is, presumably, that you simply have not created an instance of the class TLine. Nowhere do you assign to Zeile and so it remains at its default value of nil.
You need to instantiate an instance
Zeile := TLine.Create;
You must do this before you attempt to reference Zeile. When you are done with the instance, destroy it:
Zeile.Free;

Check if function param is undefined in SmartMS?

How can I check if a function param is undefined?
procedure Test(aValue: TObject);
begin
if aValue <> nil then
ShowMessage('param filled') <-- also when Test() is executed!
else
ShowMessage('no param filled') <-- not called, only when Test(nil) is called
end;
However when this function is called in pure JS without a param,
then aValue = undefined, but the <> nil check is converted to == null!
For example, when you have a JS function with a callback:
type
TObjectProcedure = procedure(aValue: TObject);
procedure FetchUrlAsync(aUrl: string; aCallback: TObjectProcedure )
begin
asm
$().load(#aUrl, #aCallback);
end;
end;
You can call this function with:
FetchUrlAsync('ajax/test.html', Test);
It is now depended on jQuery if "Test" is called with a param or not.
In the next version, you'll be able to use Defined() special function, it will make a strict check against undefined (it will return true for a null value).
if Defined(aValue) then
...
In the current version you can define a function to check that
function IsDefined(aValue : TObject);
begin
asm
#result = (#aValue!==undefined);
end;
end;
In the current version (1.0) you can use the function varIsValidRef() to check if a value is undefined. The function is a part of w3system.pas so it's always there. It looks like this:
function varIsValidRef(const aRef:Variant):Boolean;
begin
asm
if (#aRef == null) return false;
if (#aRef == undefined) return false;
return true;
end;
end;
This checks for both null and undefined so you can use it against object references (type THandle is variant) as well.
