For completeness and playing Devil's Advocate, I do have to ask whether pre-v9 (i.e. pre-UltraSPARC) systems are relevant any more. QEMU emulates V8. That's why I had to downgrade. Ludo ___ fpc-devel maillist -

membar and stbar are instructions available as of sparc v9. To get fpc running on a sparc v9 I have commented out def_system_macro('FPC_HAS_MEMBAR'); in compiler/options.pas. Is there a command line option that does the same? Ludo ___ fpc-devel

maybe -uFPC_HAS_MEMBAR. Mmm. Didn't expect that a command line undefine would override a define in the code. I'll give it a try. Thanks, Ludo ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org
