WTF is this discussion about? Curt should shut up and listen.
Why is it wrong to write that? It is the honest truth.

Actually, anybody that does not read manuals do not deserve answers.

It's just Thaddy being objectionable.

I find this sort of recurrent behaviour troubling, particularly when the community of Pascal users really does need to demonstrate that they're not all truculent old gits.

cmem (and cthreads ?) is only a thing on Unix, probably does not even compile on Windows ? It makes a big difference with multithreaded code (I benchmark stuff like that). Not significant in an all single thread code (but not tested by me).

cmem also work on Windows. It links against the msvcrt there.

Hi
Thanks Sven, that's really good to know  :)

Thanks for that (and also thanks for not shooting my observations down in flames, since some of the stuff I'm doing is probably somewhat out on a limb :-)

I've not really touched Windows for 15 years or so, but could probably do with taking another look at it at some point. I'm sure that I come across as a committed "unix head", but in actual fact I have considerable respect for the underlying NT-based architecture... and do remember that at one time you did some FPC stuff targeting it.

You mean target NativeNT? ;) Currently only available for 32-bit however.

Yup :-) Of course, all this 64-bit business is just a fad...

More seriously, I'm a big fan of only using as much architectural complexity as is necessary. I've got a long-term (i.e. likely to outlive me :-) project trying to resurrect a decent segmented architecture using an FPGA: with segment size and count tuned to the job in hand and not wasting resources.

OK, thanks PD. Does it provide the same useful performance increase on Windows ?  Windows is not my safe place ....

Indeed!  I think I've been bringing out the best you have to offer for over a decade now Thaddy, and it's always a pleasure.   Have a nice day!   

Afterthought:  don't you have that emoticon of the little guy with smoke coming out its ears?  That would been a good addition to the other two!

There is a note on the wiki about the order of units. Perhaps you will learn something useful, or, on the contrary, correct the article:
