-Notes about MorphOS version of Free Pascal:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Stack:
|
|
|
-========================================================================
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Under MorphOS, the default stack is set to 256 kB. Stack size can be set
|
|
|
-directly by the programmer with the compiler switch (-Cs), or with the
|
|
|
-{$MEMORY} directive. The memory area for the stack is dynamically
|
|
|
-allocated on program startup, so if you set this value too high, in low
|
|
|
-memory situations your program may exit immediately on startup without
|
|
|
-any further notice.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|

|
|
|
-Syscalls:
|
|
|
-========================================================================
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Free Pascal currently supports ABox-style calls for MorphOS. Using
|
|
|
-additional hand-written assembly is not needed to call any ABox library
|
|
|
-function. However, you must declare every function you're going to use
|
|
|
-by the following way:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Var
|
|
|
- my_LibBase: Pointer;
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-function my_LibCall(param1: longint location 'd0',
|
|
|
- param2: longint location 'd1'): LongInt;
|
|
|
- SysCall my_LibBase 1234;
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Where my_LibBase is the library base returned by exec's OpenLibrary()
|
|
|
-call, and 1234 is the call offset. Please note that offset values in
|
|
|
-Free Pascal must be specified as positive values, and not negative as
|
|
|
-shown in MorphOS SDK.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The value after location can be any 68k registers from d0-d7/a0-a6. Note
|
|
|
-that a7 and sp cannot be used. Register names are not case sensitive.
|
|
|
-In SysCalls you must specify location for every arguments explicity.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-MOST IMPORTANT: You must open libraries explicitly _BEFORE_ using any
|
|
|
-functions from it, because the compiler will not do it for you. Don't
|
|
|
-forget to close libraries before you exit.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Before declaring a SysCall function, please check the units provided
|
|
|
-with FPC, the function you want to use might already be declared in one
|
|
|
-of the units, and ready to use.
|

|
-Alignment:
|
|
|
-========================================================================
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Record elements are aligned to DWORD (4 bytes) under MorphOS. Use
|
|
|
-{$PACKRECORDS 2} if you need word aligned structures. For byte
|
|
|
-aligned records, use packed record.

|
-MorphOS port of Free Pascal Compiler was possible, because Genesi
|
|
|
-S.a.r.l. <www.genesi.lu> provided a free Pegasos II/G4 machine to do
|
|
|
-the developments on it.
