[fpc-devel] where do download BinUtils for ARM - Raspberry Pi?

2013-06-20 Thread Dennis Poon
I have mostly given up on creating the cross compiler for MIPSEB-OpenWrt (or DD-WRT) platform. Now, my plan B is to create a cross compiler (from x86 Linux) to ARM-Raspberry Pi I know the default raspberry pi os is Raspbian which is a version of debian. If possible, I'd like to get a binutils

Native use of FPC+Lazarus on MacOS X is fine. Even native use of FPC+Lazarus on Mac OS X cross compile to IOS is fine using the specialized Lazarus + FPC 2.7.1 + the packakge provided by www.pas4mobile.com I have deployed an IOS app on my Ipod touch without problem (of course, you need to

Thanks for your info. For information, my Raspberry Pi running the ArchLinux boots within 16 seconds to the command line using an old class 4 SD Card. If running Raspbian, it boots to the graphical UI in 30 seconds using a new Class 10 SD Card. Does have a stable stock supply? Dennis

What about code size? The code size for one unit is the same as if you had (in that example) declared a variant of IsIn for each LongInt and String. So for each IsInT specialization with different types new code is generated if it does not yet exist in that unit. This means that if

[fpc-devel] Newbie question: how does the compiler know the class type of an object ( the Is operator)

2014-08-21 Thread Dennis Poon
I am just curious, what is the instance size of an Tobject? in many notifyevents, we would test whether an object is actually of a certain class by if Sender is TComponent then ... end; How does the is operator work? Is the memory space occupied by that object reference contain a pointer
