Free Pascal (aka FPK Pascal) is a 32 and 64 bit professional Pascal compiler.
It is available for different processors: Intel x86, Amd64/x86 64, PowerPC, Sparc.
The discontinued 1.0 version also supports the Motorola 680x0.
Main features:
- high speed compiler
- fully 32 or 64-bit code
- language features:
- almost fully compatible with Borland Pascal and Borland Delphi
- ansi strings
- wide strings
- exception support
- RTTI support
- procedure overloading
- operator overloading
- COM, CORBA and raw interfaces support
- dynamic array support
- variant support
- inlining
- code optimizer:
- peephole optimizer (80x86 only)
- jump optimizer
- loading of variables into registers
- assembler level dataflow analyzer (80x86 only)
- stack frame eliminations
- sophisticated register allocator
- integrated BASM (built-in assembler) parser
- supports ATT syntax used by GNU C
- supports Intel syntax used by Turbo Pascal (80x86-only)
- can compile code into assembler source code for these assemblers:
- GNU Assembler (GAS)
- Netwide assembler (Nasm)
- Microsoft Assembler/Turbo Assembler (Masm/Tasm)
- Watcom assembler (wasm)
- can call external C code
- smartlinking (not yet supported under Mac OS X)
