Work is done on all of them, but except SEH64, none will go off the list with 2.8 I guess.

Anyway, kicking in open doors is easy.  Making the stuff is harder. WAAAYP.

Eagerly waiting for FPC 2.8 release, hope it releases soon.
Holiday season is online now. :-)

Not this year. At best a beta very late this year if the current schedule holds.

Well I am using the trunk SVN using fpcup so yes I've seen it. Anyway I am only trying to port my app to linux. But with the missing features seems like that won't happen this year.

BTW , about the performance , the 2.7.1 from the trunk seems much powerful than the actual 2.6.4 .
i did some benchmarks between the two , i got ~30% boost  from 2.7.1 ... thats very good !.

Do you mean compiling the code faster or executables are running faster ?

The executables run faster, better optimization. But for x86 I don't think the 30% is an average :-)

Airpas doesn't mention architecture, but 2.7.1 has a lot of ARM work done.

i mean the optimizations becomes better  .
marcov : arch is x86 and the benchmark was an intensive floating point calculation .
if my memory serves me , i read in the mailing lists that Floarian has done some changes concerning LEA instruction . so maybe its due to this !! , just thought

if you compare the output of `fpc -i` from 2.6.4 and current trunk, you will notice a lot of differences in supported FPU instruction set and supported optimizations parts. If your benchmark program is an intensive floating point calculation, picking up the best supported FPU according to your processor + correct selection of optimizations might lead to a performance boost.

There's been a sudden increase in the number of new user registrations this month which is
both great to see and a bit puzzling at the same time.
