[fpc-devel] Free Pascal for Windows aarch64 Bug Bounties

[J. Gareth Moreton]

You've piqued my interest.  I currently only have the ability to develop 
on aarch64-linux (Raspberry Pi 400), but I'm curious to know if I can 
get a version of Windows to run on it, even if the performance will be 
very bad.

So far I've tried to reproduce the issues on aarch64-linux without any 
success.  40203 makes sense because it may be a specific issue with 
Windows exception handling, but 40198 is a mystery because it's more 
closely tied with code generation.  Can you verify that the problem 
illustrated on 40198 still occurs on the trunk? (I've confirmed that if 
there are more than 10 case statements, the code generator attempts to 
use a jump table unless optimisations are turned off)
