Hi.
I found in the fpc-pascal archive a short thread on someone converting FastMM4 to FPC.
Does anyone know if this succeeded or if the curret (4.92) version of FastMM4 can be used with fpc?
Regards,
Torsten Bonde Christiansen.

I thought it was for a large part written in assembly. So even when you could usi it, only on windows-i386.

1. FastMM4 can also be used on linux (-> kylix) but the assembler code is not PIC-safe i. e. can't be used in linux shared libraries.
2. Using {$undef ASMVersion} in FastMM4 replaces most of the assembler functions with native pascal functions.
3. FastMM4 can't be used without modifications with FPC.
If there is any interest, I could provide a patched (but not thoroughly testet!) version 4.92 which is based on extensions originally made by Adrian Veith for version 4.46.
Additionally my patched version also contains some modifications to make FastMM PIC-safe. As mentioned before: This version has not been tested, i. e. some work to make it stable working will probably be necessary.

I would be interested, and perhaps i could contribute to your work if i'm able to.
