[fpc-pascal] FPC for virtual machines?

2008-02-06 Thread Marco Alvarado
Hello! I'm in the Lazarus list, but I'm new to this one. Are there FPC versions for these virtual machines? Java Flash 8 (actionscript 2) Flash 9 (actionscript 3) If the answer is no, I'd love to create compilers for those virtual platforms. I want to see Pascal applications running on them. :D

What about creating an Eclipse add-on for FPC, instead of writing a Lazarus-like editor (that's what you seem to be doing) from scratch. I just think, if a whole team of talented people have spend so much time creating such tool, and are still developing it, do you think you can finish it... someda

[fpc-pascal] atomic primitives for lock-free algorithms?

I'm reading about lock-free algorithms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock-free_algorithms#Implementation Is there a way to access those atomic primitives, but in a multiplatform manner? Regards! -Marco ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepa

[fpc-pascal] Pascal Translator for Virtual Machines

2008-02-16 Thread Marco Alvarado
I finally setup a SourceForge project for the PTVM: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ptvm/ Right now it's at beta 0.3, and can translate and compile (with MTASC) a simple Hello World application. I'm working on translating types, sentences, etc. I'm using SVN since I have more experience with it.

I have installed FPC with a DOS emulator for Windows (DOS box). When it's installed that way I get that message to download the help files as you mention, but when it is installed from Windows itself, the help files are included and the context help works. Anyway I use Lazarus a lot, which is a De

[fpc-pascal] Reading from exe directly on RAM

Hello! I want to read data from my executable files. This data is appended to the file, and would like to read it directly instead of loading another copy of the file. I'm think on using a function like this: function PeekExeByte(Byte2Get: Integer): byte; Begin If Byte2Get < 1 then Exit; Resu

The problem of GOTO is that C doesn't have one. If C had one, and Pascal didn't have a GOTO, they would blame Pascal for not having it. In assembler GOTOs make a lot of sense (i.e. JMP and Jxx), and it's weird C doesn't have one, after all C tries to be the lowest level of the highest level languag
