Yes, this is because i386 is a very special cpu compared with the others: cisc, high register pressure and a fpu stack with strange behaviour compared to other fpus. Nevertheless, it's far from being so bad that it requires to dig upsite down in the compiler. But I'am still waiting for examples! _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
