[fpc-devel] LLVM code generation

2010-11-20 Thread Carl-Philip Haensch

Hello,

I like the llvm architecture and want to ask if I can help developing  
the llvm code generation for fpc (with the intention to make llvm  
fully replace fpc's own asm generation)


Here my questions:
 - Who is working on llvm integration?
 - What has to be done in the near future?
 - Where can I help?
 - What Toolchain is the best to develop and test llvm code gen for fpc

[fpc-devel] Native Datatypes

2010-11-18 Thread Carl-Philip Haensch

Hi,

There could be "native" Datatypes, that means data types that are  
compiled into fastest code by compiler (without size casting). An  
example is the PtrInt, but there should a more intuirive naming:

 - BestInt (integer in system size)
 - BestFloat (float that is calculated fastest)
 - BestString (String performed fastest on this architecture)

That would allow programmers to write efficient code without breaking  
old pascals datatype bandwith.

[fpc-devel] Code Style in FPC

2010-11-10 Thread Carl-Philip Haensch

Hi,

what code style does fpc have?
There is a lot of inconsistency in the units, for example the  
assembler units with "tai" in lower case everything and in other rtl  
units a clear camel case..


Is there a style guideline? (link)

thanks
