Hello:
Just ask if there is any ppcaltivec unit for freepascal, like mmx. If not i'll may convert the c ones from gcc so i can use the freevec lib under pascal.

And a related question, does compiler understand inline ppc asm?

TIA

PPC compiler doesn't yet supports it's on the
todo list. Any help is welcomed though. :)

Yes it does. But just like other parts of the compiler, also inline assembler doesn't support Altivec yet.
