Free Pascal for Windows on ARM?
« on: May 17, 2025, 10:49:52 pm »
What is the current status of the support of Windows on ARM by FPC?

Recently, the ARM architecture passed the 10% mark for notebooks and servers. It is anticipated that it continues to rise.

May it be expected to be supported by FPC in the near future? For macOS, the ARM implementation by FPC is perfect now.

begin
  GetRandomNumber := 4; // chosen by fair dice roll. Guaranteed to be random.
end;

I believe this more or less recent thread sums it up ?

The target exist already so yes it may be expected. I don't know about the current status though.
