[fpc-pascal] 64-bit ARM and CPUARM
Hello All, Just a little question. In In https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/prog/progap7.html , there is specified that CPUARM Free Pascal target is an ARM 32-bit processor. What about ARM 64-bit processors like the ones in Raspberries ? Something similar to CPUPOWERPC with two subcatagories CPUPOWERPC32 and CPUPOWERPC64 ?

[fpc-pascal] 64 bit ?
I have a desktop with a 64bit AMD x4 Phenom processor. I have noticed that FreePascal programs perform worse on this computer then they do on my 32 bit laptop. Integer performance seems to be about 3 times worse then on the laptop. Now if I convert the pascal source to c and compile that as follows: gcc -O3 -funroll-all-loops -o MyExecutable MySource.c The performance is many times better then with FreePascal. I assume that gcc is compiling to 64 bit here and generating an optimizing for the AMD processor. Is there a way to do something similar with Free Pascal?

So I was not sure if it runs on *Intel* - 64-Bit (I'm not a hardware-specialist, but it isn't sooo important for my text, I just don't want to write anything wrong.) AMD originally invented the 64-bit extensions to the x86 chipset, Intel licensed them later. Before Intel licensed it, the arch was named AMD64, after Intel also started pushing out AMD64's it is called x86_64. So Intel x86_64's will work.

[fpc-pascal]64 bit
The website says that The first 64-bit port has arrived. Tonight, FPC compiled itself for the first time on a 64-bit system. The system was of the AMD64 type. However I can't find any more information. Do I just download and compile the source it in the normal way? I have a dual opteron with SuSe 9.1 - Richard. -- Richard Kimber http://www.psr.keele.ac.uk/ ___ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

So crosscompiling with cross-binutils. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
