I have no access to any sparc machine, thus it is even moredifficult to maintain such targets. For both SPARC/Linux and SPARC/Solaris I'm able to build the fpcsrc stuff without GDB. In both cases I can build the entire installation bundle, again without GDB. For SPARC/Linux I can build fpcsrc with GDB_V607 which is the version of the library I've been using for many years. I've not tried this yet with SPARC/Solaris. When I try to build the entire installation with GDB support I get ..

Check where gcc.a is located and try to find out (by checking the passed options / directories), why it is found when building fpcsrc but not when doing the whole package? Possibly pass the respective -Fl to the build process explicitly (depending on the used options, fpcsrc building might use a reference in fpc.cfg)?

Re: [fpc-pascal] Setting record values
Thanks for the tips, I appreciate it.
This is all pretty trivial but it’s kind of annoying that using an inline class
function is more efficient than a constructor despite having identical
functionality. It's tempting to remove the constructors now and replace them
with inline functions but it seems like the compiler should be smarter and make
this optimization for me.

That’s good to know about SetLength. Is it possible use FillChar on a multidimensional arrays? arr: array of array of array of integer. SetLength(arr, 3, 3, 3); FillChar(arr[0], (3*3*3)*sizeof(integer), false); I’m just getting crashes.
