Tattam) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.development Subject: Pascal compilers. Date: Wed, 6 Oct 1993 06:52:06 GMT Organization: Psychology Department, University of Tasmania Lines: 26 Message-ID: <peter.614.2CB26B16@psychnet.psychol.utas.edu.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: pc_100.psychol.utas.edu.au X-Newsreader: Trumpet for Windows [Version 1.0 Rev B] I have the core of a flat 32bit Pascal compiler written (from scratch so royalty free). I plan to make it so that it can compile object oriented programs compatible with Borland Pascal 7.0. At the moment, it can generate raw assembly language for i386. I want to feature units and also static and dynamic objects. Would there be any demand for such a beast. I've got p2c running on 386bsd and it compiles and runs my compiler based on that system. While p2c is good, it isn't really good for production quality since it isn't too strict about some things. What I need to know is... the object code format for 386bsd programs and also how calls are made to the system. I also need to have an idea of where the linker places things in the virtual address space of the i386.
