Junior" Subject: [fpc-pascal] status of MIPS port To: FPC-Pascal users discussions Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Whats the status of the MIPS port ? I am currently working on a project called "OpenTik", wich aims at replacing mikrotik's routeros with a completely opensource alternative. Originally i wanted to use FreeBSD on ARM but theres no freepascal compiler for this. I switched to a Linux based system as the base, and freepascal to write a couple of complex components (like the console wich is way more powerfull than the mikrotik's original one). I am working on the captive portal system now, wich will be nicely integrated into the current (working already) xmlconsole. Later i plan to write a mac server using freepascal and libpcap and finally a winbox replacement called openbox. Current source code is here : http://code.google.com/p/opentik/ it implements a complete programming language on its own, besides a template system and a configuration management tool all integrated into a single system called xmlconsole (because it uses xml files to store config). My question is : Whats the status of Freepascal on the MIPS (both LE and BE) ? I ask this bacause MIPS is the single most used processor in the low end/low cost access point market and it would be quite nicey to have opentik running on those. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2012 15:53:25 +0100 From: "Ludo Brands" Subject: RE : [fpc-pascal] FPC Advanced Records To: "'FPC-Pascal users discussions'" Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" >> >> where by the time ThisSize is accessed any disparity has been >> corrected? >> > > Not sure if this will be of any use. > > but you can always define an assignment incompatible type > WordLE = record data: Word; end; > > and define all required overloaded operators Or an endian independant implementation: type wordLE=packed record L1,L2:byte; end; operator := (w1:word) w2:wordLE; begin w2.L2:=(w1 shr 8) and $FF; w2.L1:=w1 and $FF; end; operator := (w1:wordLE) w2:word; begin w2:=((w1.L2 shl 8) and $FF00 ) or word(w1.L1); end; Ludo ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2012 16:02:09 +0100 (CET) From: Subject: Re: [fpc-pascal] fpWeb: Error when trying to call a module without an action To: FPC-Pascal users discussions Message-ID: Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed On Fri, 9 Mar 2012, wrote: > On Fri, 9 Mar 2012, Sven Barth wrote: > >> I'm using the embedded webserver variant and the error only surfaced after >> I added a second module which let's me assume that the problem is the same >> as this: >> http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/pipermail/lazarus/2011-June/063655.html > > And what exactly is the problem ? > > You can set the default module name in the TFPWebApplication.

I implemented the 'PreferModuleName' property in TWebHandler and TFPCustWebApplication in rev. 20495. if set to True, then the URL http://localhost:4321/treenode/ will select the 'treenode' module. Default for the new property is currently 'False', which is backwards compatible.

It's work-in-progress. There's a port of 2.0.0 with limited functionality (i.e. only part of the RTL was compiled), that's currently being merged into trunk but I've not heard anything from the people looking at it over the last few days. There was relevant discussion in this ML at end-Jan/start-Feb, also see http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Native_MIPS_Systems which I knocked together when I started looking at it. -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues] ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2012 13:13:06 -0300 From: Joao Morais Subject: Re: [fpc-pascal] Currency and ABS(-674.59) To: FPC-Pascal users discussions Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 On Fri, Mar 9, 2012 at 06:36, Jonas Maebe wrote: > On 09 Mar 2012, at 10:23, Sven Barth wrote: > >> The buzzword for this is Fixed Point Arithmetic.

And in fact, it is > what it does use in FPC on platforms that don't support an x87 fpu. What about promote the consistency between all platforms and implement currency as a scaled integer? After all, internally, it isn't a floating point format.
