[fpc-devel] Bounty for MIPS

Hello to all possible interested MIPS hackers, as I read the wiki page http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Native_MIPS_Systems it looks like actual status of FPC for MIPS is a little behind the head development and stalled at some point as described by Mark, I do plan to use FPC for MIPS with

Thank you Florian to have jumped a fast answer on my email, the device I have tested at this time is NetGear WNDR3800, which is a 680MHz MIPS Atheros, 128MB RAM, with a USB port (possible to plug the latest quad channel Patriot Supersonic to obtain best Disk IOPS possible on the market with large

Re: [fpc-devel] Bounty for MIPS

Excellent. this is nice to see interest from other developers with the Netgear WNDR3800, not only I can ship a Netgear WNDR3800 to the home of any developer willing to spend time to port FPC for MIPS, but I am also ready to offer a reasonable bounty to get motivated anyone that would help to

Re: [fpc-devel] Forwarded message about FPC status

The only approach I see to speed it up is to kick the whole back end and generate directly some close to i386 intermediate code directly in the parser. Is this close i386 intermediate code similar to IR LLVM generation ? if so, this may become a good option for a new strategy ?

Re: [fpc-devel] String handling in trunk (was utf8 in 2.6.0)

Yes, the exception is probably UTF-8 on Unix systems, but is that really worth it to complicate the compiler and RTL? Resourcestings are generally not used in performance-critical code, I'd assume. Always using UTF-8 is however also fine for me, I do vote for UTF-8 btw. I just don't

Re: [fpc-devel] utf8 in 2.6.0

For Lazarus: - works with fpc 2.6.x and 2.7.1 - LCL and most code expect ansistrings to hold UTF-8. - pascal sources, lfm, po files are stored in UTF-8 without BOM. Special care has to be taken, when using widestrings/unicodestring. - there are UTF-8 functions and classes (most in package
