Re: [fpc-pascal] Congratulations to FPC!
After the awesome advanced image editor, Pixel at http://www.kanzelsberger.com. Now, FPC is officially used as backend compiler for another great product, Morfik at http://www.morfik.com. Congratulations! We know about it. We cooperate with Morfik :-) I knew about it too as I'm a member of Morfik Pioneer. Just want to share a good news to others who doesn't know yet about Morfik. :) -Bee- has Bee.ography at: http://beeography.wordpress.com ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
[fpc-pascal] Not specifying the {$H+} degrades performance
Hi,
If I have a .pas unit and forgot to specify the compiler mode line
{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
what does FPC default to? Compiler Mode? Longstring or Shortstring?
I wrote a string tokenizer and did some time trials against an old
tokenizer I used. First I forgot to include the compiler mode line
above and did some test runs. I then noticed my mistake and added in
that line and did some more test runs. The second set of tests where
on avg 10% faster!
After some more testing I realized it is the {$H+} that gave me the
performance boost. What does FPC default to? Why not default to {$H+}
?
Lazarus added the following compiler parameters:
-S2cgi -OG1 -gl -vewnhi -l

Shortstring. {$h+} is not longstring, but ansistring.

Backwards compatibility. There are also many situations where
ansistrings are slower than shortstrings.

Impressive list of new features. It just boggles the mind where you find the time to do so much in MSEgui & MSEide being the only developer.

[fpc-pascal] fpdoc and images
Hi, Is it possible to reference images in 'fpdoc'? I want to document a string tokenizer with a diagram to show how the Finite State Machine, which the tokenizer is based on, works. Another example is documenting the different Themes that fpGUI supports showing how each widget in a specific themes looks like. -- Graeme Geldenhuys There's no place like S34° 03.168' E018° 49.342' ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

The image support for fpdoc is planned. The main problem is conversion and directories...
