Overflow exception when calling SetMaxLengthFilterForTextFields

Hello,

I found small problem. In some cases when I call SetMaxLengthFilterForTextFields procedure then EOverflow exception is raised. Problem exist for the properties which does not have index parameter defined. For example:

  TTest1Item = class(TSQLRecord)
  private
    FTestProp: TDateTime;
  published
    property TestProp: TDateTime read FTestProp write FTestProp;
  end;

  TTest2Item = class(TSQLRecord)
  private
    FTestProp: RawUTF8;
  published
    property TestProp: RawUTF8 read FTestProp write FTestProp;
  end;

  TTest3Item = class(TSQLRecord)
  private
    FTestProp: string;
  published
    property TestProp: string read FTestProp write FTestProp;
  end;

and of course when overflow control is on in compiler. This is not a problem with production code but in testing code it makes some troubles. I have change condition:

if (SQLFieldType in TEXT_FIELDS) and (cardinal(FieldWidth-1)<262144) then

to:

if (SQLFieldType in TEXT_FIELDS) and (cardinal(FieldWidth)<262144) and (FieldWidth <> 0) then

After this correction everything works correctly.

Re: Overflow exception when calling SetMaxLengthFilterForTextFields

Our mORMot code expects overflow checks to be disabled.
It is done locally in Synopse.inc AFAIR.
Why did you enable it?

Re: Overflow exception when calling SetMaxLengthFilterForTextFields

Hello,

I have not changed original source code of mORMot. But I made copy of this procedure to my own code. Its because I have my own version of truncate filter. My version of filter saves to the log file informations about truncation. Thats why in my case exception occurs. When Overflow checking is disabled then for original mORMot code problem not exists.

Re: Overflow exception when calling SetMaxLengthFilterForTextFields

So you would have to change your "forked" version to support overflow checking.
Your own code is to be modified, not mORMot's, I suppose.

But there is no problem in mORMot's code, which is always compiled without overflow checks, therefore not to be changed.

Compiler generated overflow checking slow down the process a lot, this is why we rely on manual or algorithm-level checks, and sometimes the overflows are expected to happen (e.g. when we cast an integer into a cardinal, so that a single comparison is able to check for both >=0 and <count conditions).

Yes.

I know that overflow slows down the process. I'm using it only when I'm compiling application in debug mode. Thank you very much for assistance.
