Re: [fpc-pascal] Working Free Pascal android JNI example
In our previous episode, Michael Van Canneyt said: In fact I think this is one of the more easy things. The main problem seems to me that you need to support things like pointers, which is something deeply embedded in Pascal. I think the suitable RTL is a reference to an earlier discussion about this subject, where this (pointers) was also said, and that maintaining an native RTL without pointers was not desirable. I think 'RTl' is way too limited in scope. It goes of course even more for libraries above that level. I don't see any future for code sharing (rtl,libs) between bytecode and native. I've seen the mess with Delphi.NET on the delphi side, and don't want a slippery slope in that direction. The pointers are just the first thing. Object model, RTTI etc are next. But if the overlap with the bytecode generator is only in the compiler, then that satisfies me, and is it something for the compiler devels to decide. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Matt Emson schrieb: Native is bad, and only come in to existence to compete with other platforms with purely native compilation - I disagree. Just the opposite. There were already lots of attempts to create a processor independend programming layer (i.e. USCD-Pascal with the p-code in the seventies) but none of them survived very long. They all had a great disadvantage: Bad performance. And it is quite evident, that if you would have a universal API layer then all processors would be the same. There would be no need to create new processors because they all would compute the same commands from the one and only API layer. I doubt that this idea will survive long. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
Re: [fpc-pascal] 2D Dynamic arrays and BlockRead
STat = Array[0..W-1] Of Single ; { Static array }
DST = Array Of STat ; { One dimension dynamic, the other static }
D2T = Array Of Array Of Single ; { Two dynamic dimensions }
STat always means the address starting with STat[0] (context
independend).
Also DST always means the address where DST[0].
Nope, there is a difference between DST and DST[0]. DST won't give you
the first element.
Yes, you are right. I missread the definition. What I had in mind was
that the first level of the array being static and only the second one
dynamic but actualy it was vice versa.

SDL_opengl.h is just (one of the) cross-platform ways to include OpenGL stuff in C programs. We don't need it in FPC, just use GL, GLU, GLExt units as usual. (BTW, Jedi-sdl indeed includes also a version of GL, GLU, GLExt units, but these are (at least, were not) suitable for FPC. See my notes at the bottom of http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Talk:FPC_and_SDL).
