It was already defunct afaik before x86_64 emerged and i386 was split into x86 and i386. ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

Re: [fpc-devel] Compiler subfolders: i386, x86
Hello, File "cpubase.pas" in compiler subfolder 'x86' contains following comment: "Contains the base types for the i386 and x86-64 architecture" So I guess both folders are needed to build i386 target... I will try that and see how it goes ;) Bye, Skybuck. - Original Message - From: "Skybuck Flying" To: "Free Pascal Developers Mailing List" Sent: Wednesday, 6 April, 2011 05:34 AM Subject: [fpc-devel] Compiler subfolders: i386, x86 Hello, I have a little question about these subfolders in the compiler folder, they are called: 'i386' and 'x86' What are these folders, they seem samiliar ? (cpubase.pas seems to be missing from i386 instead there is an include file called cpubase.inc) I'm a bit confused about these folders, what exactly are these ? Why are there two for what seems to be the same "platform" ? Isn't i386 the same as x86 ? Perhaps both folders are needed for 80386, 80486 and pentium targets ??? (win32?)
