Hi, I haven't noticed up to now, but using fpc-2.0.4 on FreeBSD does not work completely in FreeBSD 4.11 any more.
Observations: - Compiling fpc 2.0.4 works. - Compiling programs does not work with the new startup code (rtl/freebsd/i386/cprto.as) error: failure in _init_tls() couldn't find info on what that is ... - blindly switching to fpc 2.0.2s cprt0.as does make most things work again ... - ... but multitasking isn't possible, the old cprt0.as does not work with threads at all errors: (gdb) bt #0 0x2821e88b in pth_cancel_point () from /usr/local/lib/pth/libpthread.so.20 #1 0x28217938 in pthread_testcancel () from /usr/local/lib/pth/libpthread.so.20 #2 0x28536768 in _thread_enter_cancellation_point () from /usr/lib/libc_r.so.4 #3 0x2852a954 in fcntl () from /usr/lib/libc_r.so.4 #4 0x2821da45 in pth_fdmode () from /usr/local/lib/pth/libpthread.so.20 #5 0x2821a86f in __pth_scheduler_init () from /usr/local/lib/pth/libpthread.so.20 #6 0x2821ca76 in pth_init () from /usr/local/lib/pth/libpthread.so.20 #7 0x28217fa0 in pthread_mutex_init () from /usr/local/lib/pth/libpthread.so.20 #8 0x285020c2 in _thread_init () from /usr/lib/libc_r.so.4 #9 0x285384a8 in _thread_init_invoker::_thread_init_invoker () from /usr/lib/libc_r.so.4 #10 0x285384e1 in _thread_init_invoker::_thread_init_invoker () from /usr/lib/libc_r.so.4 #11 0x2853850a in _thread_init_invoker::_thread_init_invoker () from /usr/lib/libc_r.so.4 #12 0x28538538 in _thread_init_invoker::_thread_init_invoker () from /usr/lib/libc_r.so.4 #13 0x284bd6d6 in _init () from /usr/lib/libc_r.so.4 #14 0x281ecb5c in _rtld () from /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 Is there any chance of having support for FreeBSD 4 integrated into newer compilers? What would it require to do so? If the difference in initializing threads between 2.0.2 and 2.0.4 would be put into makefiles or ifdef's I think it could work ... but my knowledge of compiler internals and startup code is very limited.
