How to DIY a filerec record in system.pas by DIY in Bare Metal?

[TYDQ]

These days I have met an problem like this:
If I complie my bare metal using -g parameter,I will get an error like this:
system.pas(324,10) Fatal: Cannot find system type "FILEREC". Check if you use the correct run time library.
Fatal: Compilation aborted
So,How to write my own filerec record for my program?

You write that you are using a custom rtl (bare metal). Then you write to encounter an error about a certain missing type which means that you have not integrated that into your custom rtl.

Have do you propose we handle such question(s) without having any access to or knowledge about your custom rtl or where that rtl is running?

On a general note, the compiler uses a define "FPC_HAS_FEATURE_FILEIO" which compiles in the required pieces. If your hosting environment does not offer support for any of the required/depending functionality then you would have to implement a custom solution.

I would simply lift it from the compiler sources.

Emm.....What is the name of FILEREC in compiler sources(Maybe sys_filerec?),I was directly using grep -r FILEREC in the root path of the fpc source code and gain no related records of FILEREC just FILEREC String and its location.

Yes,does the filerec is OS-specific or having same definition in every architecture that fpc supports?

The answer might surprise you: it is both. The structure is static but contains private data that might be (ab)used on a per OS base.

Why not have a look at it yourself ? It is defined in the RTL file filerec.inc. No idea why that not showed up for you in your grep.

Thank you.

Try harder, it is in fpc/rtl/inc/filerec.inc

The file has even got the same name.

Thank you,I have alternative way to debug and avoid using filerec record in my program.
