Moreover I didn't like the that much. To be honest, there is no point also, since we mostly only instrument the hardware building blocks. ___ fpc-other maillist - fpc-other@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-other
Re: [fpc-other] Turbo51
I think that the biggest problem for using it in a commercial project is that it is not open source and a hobby project. There is a risk it gets abandoned. For PIC microcontrollers there is a good amount of a Pascal compilers. A good commercial one: http://www.mikroe.com/en/compilers/mikropascal/pic/ A free compiler: http://www.pmpcomp.fr/index.php?lng=en -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho ___ fpc-other maillist - fpc-other@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-other

It seems to have full shortstring support at a first glance, and in general more of the BP dialect then most 8-bit dialects. T The extensions are what one would expect (segment modifier and bit access. It also supports "our" %110101 syntax). The only strange thing I found is this: * Local variables All local variables in normal (non-reentrant) procedures and functions are static. They are placed like global variables but are accessible only in local scope. Default memory type for local variables can be set with compiler directive $ML MemoryType (DATA, IDATA or XDATA) and defaults to DATA. This memory type can be overridden for each variable declaration. - (and same for params) I think it makes sense for embedded programming though, since it simplifies calling conventions. OTOH, they generally don't have that much fast RAM. Pitty that we use (16-bit) Microchip nowadays. ___ fpc-other maillist - fpc-other@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-other
[fpc-other] Turbo51
Hello, I just got a Google alert for a new release of the Turbo51 compiler. It's a TP-compatible compiler for the 8051 microcontroller family. It's freeware, but not open source. http://www.turbo51.com Jonas ___ fpc-other maillist - fpc-other@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-other
