   I am debugging an issue that I see on mipsel embedded target (and perhaps also on arm-embedded for corteX-m0, I had crashes in the same rtl routine a while ago) because…

   At the moment, I'm experimenting with overhauling the x86_64 optimizer to see if I can reduce the number of passes through a block of code - my hope is to greatly…

    I've been happily building 64-bit FPC natively on Windows for over five years now. It works fine. It is stable. There is no logical reason whatsoever to use a 32-bit to…

13. max_operands for AVR after rev 40170
