There are very little *generally* usefull instrustrutions in ARMv5 and ARMv6, most are only usefull for very limited applications. FPC makes use of the most important one: PLD in the move procedure and it is detected dynamically if it's available. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
