FPC support??

[shobits1]

Browsing the FastMM4.pas, I found many entries related to FPC (32bit and 64bit); yet the readme only mentions the Delphi4+ and BC4+; so is FastMM4 FPC ready? what's limitation, and how it fares compared to FPC internal memory manager. how to use it.

FPC support for OS X and Linux (i386 and x86-64) was added in October 2015 by Zoë Peterson. I have not tested it myself, but I have not received any reports of bugs either.

Thanks for the response but, unfortunately it doesn't work under windows; any plan to bring support to FPC for windows.

I personally don't have any plans to add support in the short term, but I believe others got it working without too much trouble.

Hi, I'm compiling a delphi app with FPC (3.0.2) with delphi compatibility mode -MDELPHI and it throws this error:

FastMM4.pas(1573,55) Error: Identifier not found "clib"
FastMM4.pas(1573,60) Error: Illegal expression

I'm guessing it might have something to do with -MDELPHI, but not sure.

Any ideas ? Thanks !

Okay it's not -MDELPHI

I've made this simple program:

program test;

uses
  FastMM4

begin
  writeln ('Hello, world.')
end.

and compiled it as a normal fpc program

$ fpc test.lpr
