[fpc-pascal] Which -Op??? parameter is appropriate

System used: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 @ 2.66GHz with 4GB memory FPC 2.4 64-bit under Ubuntu 8.04.2 LTS 64-bit Which -Op??? can I use to optimize my application best for the above system? Is -OpPENTIUMM better or worse than -OpPENTIUM4? Is any of them appropriate for a

[fpc-pascal] Memory allocation problem

Hi, I'm looking for a function or a procedure that tries to allocate memory and return nil on failure. GetMem seems to be a good candidate but it doesn't works as expected. The FreePascal documentations (http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/system/getmem.html) tells that it returns nil on

[fpc-pascal] floating point an FPC

Hello, I've made a small test: if (0.1+0.2) = 0.3 then The only compiler/interpator that actually tells that it equal is FPC. I've tested it using Javascript (in Firefox), Ruby, Python, C (gcc) and Perl. Except FPC, everyone tells that 0.1+0.2 = 0.30004 Can someone explain how

[fpc-pascal] Re: Memory allocation problem

Please forgot my stupid question. GetMem works perfectly as described in the documentation. My problem cames from an another part of my program. Yann ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org

Re: [fpc-pascal] Which regex unit to use?

Has anybody done a speed test between these two, to see how they perform with large test files? * fpcsrc/packages/regexpr/src/regexp.pp vs * lazarus/components/synedit/synregexpr.pas * TRegExpr (no idea what is latest and if FPC compatible) From the following link it sounds like

[fpc-pascal] Re: Which regex unit to use?

Hi, There are a few regex units include with FPC and Lazarus, and dozens more available for Delphi (and probably FPC too). Which one is the most well known, or best to use, or most feature complete regarding syntax etc...? * fpcsrc/packages/regexpr/src/old/regexpr.pp *
