[fpc-pascal] named parameter

2017-05-26 Thread Mr Bee via fpc-pascal
Hi, As Pascal mostly well known as a safe, easy to read, and elegant language, don't you think Pascal needs named parameter? I mean for ALL kind of parameters, not just for Variants. When you have a function with many parameters having default values, you know that named parameter is desirable. Fo

[fpc-pascal] Error cross compiling trunk for AVR

2017-05-26 Thread Christo
A recent change in 3.1.1 seemed to have broken the AVR compiler, while the compiler compiles fine for X86_64-linux. I think the problem started from r36325: make clean crossall OS_TARGET=embedded CPU_TARGET=avr SUBARCH=avr5 BINUTILSPREFIX=avr- CROSSOPT="-O3 -XX -CX" FPC=~/fpc/3.0.2/compiler/ppcx64

[fpc-pascal] GLM library alternative?

2017-05-26 Thread Ryan Joseph
I’m trying to following some OpenGL tutorials to learn the matrix transforms but I’m getting stuck because I don’t have the c++ GLM library which everyone is using. I see FPC has a matrix class but it doesn’t include all the helpers in GLM like rotation, transform, perspective transforms (https
