__llmod() equivalent
« on: July 08, 2020, 10:53:09 pm »
Hello,

There is a routine declared as procedure __llmod() in the System unit in Delphi. The comment above it says: { 64-bit Integer helper routines }.
Looked for an equivalent with the same name in FPC, but couldn't find it. Maybe there is one, but with a different name.

The interest in this particular procedure comes from the attempt to compile the JCL package with FPC 32-bit. It resulted with an error that it can't find __llmod.

Do you know of such an equivalent routine?

Thank you!

its most likely a MOD operator which Fpc supports naturally ..

Please show a couple of lines of its use so others can determine what it is.
The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing

Here is a sequence from zlibh.pas:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. {$IFDEF CPU32}
  2. procedure __llmod; cdecl;
  3. asm
  4.   jmp System.@_llmod;
  5. end;
  6. {$ENDIF CPU32}
  7.  
  8. {$ENDIF ZLIB_STATICLINK}
  9. {$ENDIF ~ZLIB_RTL}
  10.  
It is not used in other parts of JCL.

Procedures starting with __ are internal, undocumented ones. They are not guaranteed to stay the same between Delphi versions either.

Maybe JCL used it because they use a lot of assembler, and such functions are easier to call in assembler, so the easiest solution is to let JCL take the pascal instead of the assembler code.

I think replacing it with the following should work (not tested):

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. {$IFDEF CPU32}
  2. {$IFNDEF FPC}
  3. procedure __llmod; cdecl;
  4. asm
  5.   jmp System.@_llmod;
  6. end;
  7. {$ELSE FPC}
  8. function __llmod(n,z: Int64): Int64; cdecl;
  9. begin
  10.   Result := n mod z;
  11. end;
  12. {$ENDIF FPC}
  13. {$ENDIF CPU32}
  14.

Of course this will move the problem only to the next bit, linking Delphi's zlib objs

The object files are part of JCL and are simple COFF object files. The other missing functions are fullfilled by imports from MSVCRT.
