Hi. I just tried to unfairly compare fpc-compiled binary and gcc-compiled binary under my Gentoo box. FPC is incredible. `ps` data shows the fpc one costs nearly no memory? But I still notice it is a little slow. It usually costs 0.5~1.0 time more than the gcc one. It seems as if fpc saves memory in the cost of performance loss. Is it true? If so, is there any options for better performance and no such insane memory saving?
Interestingly, I just tried gpc also, gpc binary sometimes has a better performance, but even cost more memory than gcc, which is not tolerable. Another question. I cannot find any declaration of the system procedures such as WriteLn and ReadLn. I tried to find in fpcsrc directory with grep but achieve nothing. FreePascal's documents says the declarations are in rtl but the line number is 0. Are these system procedures implemented in the compiler(built-in) or in the system unit? I would like also to know the situation in C. (I mean declaration of printf and scanf. Are they implemented in glibc or gcc?) Thank you very much. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
