No, it saves no time in total and is against any OSS spirit: imagine ten people developing for say the lpc2148 (or any other not yet supported controller). All of them use the bare controller and hack the stuff together to get that unknown controller working and waste a lot of time with this. Instead, the first one using a new controller does a proper set of patches, they are applied to FPC. The other nine save a lot of time by just using the already implemented lpc2148 target and might spent the saved time into other new stuff for FPC ;) _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
