Hi, Here are a few things about the m68k version i'd like to discuss.
First, how well the FPU codegenerator is tested in the m68k version? I ask, because i've got a pretty big piece of code here, which makes heavy use of float math. (A 3D engine namely.) I wrote it using the i386 compiler, a few years ago. So now i tried to port it to m68k. After working around a few internalerror(10)'s :) i successfully compiled the code, and it worked. But then i tried to switch off the FPU emulation to generate direct FPU code, since that should be really faster on my '060 baby. But i didn't got anything but nasty crashes, and some invalid instruction exceptions... So, are there any known defects of the FPU code generator, or should i try to give a small example program which shows the error? Second, is there a chance to get '020 style addressing supported in inline assembly? So to use (1234,a0) instead of 1234(a0). Well, it's not that important, but can come handy in some cases... Third, is it possible to have parameter-passing in registers, in the procedure definition in a foreseeable future? Needless to say, it can come handy when someone writing header units for AmigaOS libs... :) And for last, are there any jobs open for volunteers in the m68k/amigaos port? I'd really like to make myself useful. :) Bye, -- Charlie/iNQ [.wanna.touch.diz?.amiga1200.os31.68060/50.48mb.2,5"ide.pcmcianet.] [. .power.of.the.ancients. + .a2000. + .a500. + .commodore.128d. .] [. .cybernetic.hydraulic.android.responsible.for. .] [. .logical.infiltration.and.exploration. .] _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
