I beliave that fpc can generate very good code, so we won´t loose much
performance. Anyway, this is something to be considered after the
library is working cross-platform.
Beside that I see no reason, why someone shouldn't be allowed to use
that asm code as well on other OSs with an x86-32 compatible computer.
Most of the routines use clever arranged MMX stuff. I think it will be
hard to write pascal that produce the same stuff with FPC, but I haven't
got any idea about FPC and intrinsics.
it
doesn't help too much to have the library compilable for example
under linux, who will use it?
Let´s just say there are people interrested enougth on this to pay for
this development. More information in 1 or 2 months.
It will guarantee portability of already written code. On PC there are
only a few options to draw antialiased lines and font with pascal, so I
know a lot of stuff relying on that library. Even I would donate money
to have that library working. Unfortunatly I'm a student and I don't
have that money. I'll donate some knowledge then :-D
Let's start, Felipe!
Cheers,
Christian
PS: Btw. For my projects I really need something like AllocateHWnd at
least under windows. There are other possibilities to do it without it,
but for the moment everything's so sinmple with the patch.
