\emph{ Remark: } Before version 0.99.1, \fpc did not support
|
|
|
reference to variables by their names in the assembler parts of your code.

-\emph{ Remark: } Currently, the \var{Assembler} directive has not the
|
|
|
-same effect as in Turbo Pascal, so beware! In \fpc, parameters are
|
|
|
-treated normally, which is not the case in Turbo Pascal. Furthermore,
|
|
|
-the stack frame will be omitted if there are no local variables, in this
|
|
|
-case if the assembly routine has any parameters, they will be referenced
|
|
|
-directly via the stack pointer. This is \em{ NOT} like Turbo Pascal where
|
|
|
-the stack frame is only omitted if there are no parameters \em{ and } no
|
|
|
-local variables. Therefore, if your assembly routines will modify the stack
|
|
|
-pointer, such as when pushing or popping values on the stack, the
|
|
|
-\var{Assembler} keyword should not be used. Instead, use a normal procedure
|
|

+\emph{ Remark: } From version 0.99.1 to 0.99.5 (\emph{excluding}
|
|
|
+FPC 0.99.5a), the \var{Assembler} directive did not have the
|
|
|
+same effect as in Turbo Pascal, so beware! The stack frame would be
|
|
|
+omitted if there were no local variables, in this case if the assembly
|
|
|
+routine had any parameters, they would be referenced directly via the stack
|
|
|
+pointer. This was \emph{ NOT} like Turbo Pascal where the stack frame is only
|
|
|
+omitted if there are no parameters \emph{ and } no local variables. As
|
|
|
+stated earlier, starting from version 0.99.5a, \fpc now has the same
