I'm talking about my replacement for the subset of the Pascal RTL. The calling code assumes the Pascal convention, the implementation is in C. They don't match on Intel. > i386 FPC has support for MASM. Use -Amasm for that. I do already. I don't now remember the exact history behind each replacement, but here they are. - DGROUP is a problem; I comment it out - So is ASSUME - The syntax of SEGMENT is different - Instead of .386p I want .686p - Instead of _CODE I want _TEXT -----Original Message----- From: fpc-devel-boun...@lists.freepascal.org [mailto:fpc-devel-boun...@lists.freepascal.org] On Behalf Of Sven Barth Sent: Monday, March 10, 2014 2:50 AM To: fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org Subject: Re: [fpc-devel] FPC and Windows Phone 8 On 10.03.2014 00:20, Vsevolod Alekseyev wrote: > Enter Windows Phone 8. In order to have a good debugging experience, you need to build the code both for Intel x86 (for the emulator), and for ARM (for devices). The flavor of ARM that WP8 uses is strictly Thumb-2, with hard floating point and hard-float calling convention (i. e. parameters in floating point registers). Also, on Intel, even the integer calling convention doesn't match between C and Pascal. Here's what I do. Please elaborate in how far the calling convention does not match.

Then I copy the assembly into the WP8 project, where it's assembled and put into a static library. i386 FPC has support for MASM. Use -Amasm for that. > As you see, I've never meant to implement a whole application, or even a whole native layer in Pascal. It's just an algorithm library. Also, I'm heavily relying on the fact that RTL use is limited in the library. Reimplementing a large body of FPC RTL from scratch would be unimaginably hard. winrt (i386-winrt, x86_64-winrt and arm-winrt) should become a full target of FPC in the future. It "just" needs to be done.
