The problem is that you are extremely dependent on binary abi stability regarding how the compiler handles things internally. I don't think we will ever guarantee that this will become stable. The whole point of having a higher level language compiler is to free yourself from such things (and "yourself" includes the compiler writers themselves). I understand that this is not true for the way ROPS has been implemented, but that is a (major) downside of implementing things at such a low level. No approach is without its downsides...
Yes, I understand that, but I *need* a scripting engine which is based on Pascal. And ROPS is the only one I found that answered my requirements. Also, it's integrated and it's "free", and very fast. If there was another way, I would use it. But since, I must rely on a stable FPC internal to make it work. Is the stack order & management something complex to correct (I'm not pushing, just informing myself, since I don't know anything in compilers.)
