[fpc-pascal] Re: GetAffinity\SetAffinity

[Brian]

Request  for additional info :

do_Syscall(syscall_nr_sched_setaffinity,fpgetpid,setsize, at cpu_set); 


The function do_SysCall() Arg 4 expects longint not a pointer but even when
typecast do_SysyCall() doesn't appear to work.

... a good description here.

Any suggestions
Thanks in advance
