[fpc-pascal] Loss of precision with the overloaded Max() function

An issue recently popped up that I thought I'd bring up as a potential issue. In short, if you call the Max() function with an integer and a double parameter (such as d := Max( 0, d ) ), then fpc appears to be using the Max( single, single ) overloaded function instead of Max( double, double ). Thi

FPC Community, Over the weekend I looked into AWS Lambda function custom runtimes, with the hope of being able to create one using Free Pascal. I'm happy to say that I have it up and running, and it produces a very small and quick runtime perfect for AWS. For sample code, please take at look at t

I have recently ported over a DLL from Delphi to fpc, so we can offer the DLL as a shared library on 32/64 bit linux, as well as 64-bit Windows. On the Windows platform, version information is often included as a resource which can be queried & displayed. Is there any way to include this informati
