64-bit |

Tim,
Can I ask you to consider 64-bit compilation in your plans please? I write a data processing app, and I think that I will need to do a 64-bit version in the next year or two. Now, I reckon the UI can stay as-is, reading the results and setting up the analysis, but I will need to be able to write a 64-bit app to be able to read the data from the database, crunch it, then write all the results. Now, it seems that CodeGear are not doing 64-bit anytime soon, but the FPC compiler allows it today. It would be brilliant if ElevateDB was compilable (and usable!) with FPC 64 bit. I would like to hear your thoughts, and those of others considering 64-bit, on the feasibility and desirability of this. Thanks! /Matthew Jones/ | |

Thanks - I look forward to the news release. 8-)

FWIW, I note that RemObjects supports FPC now. This means that a Win64 app
can sensibly talk to a Win32 app to communicate. With shared database access too, it looks promising. /Matthew Jones/ | |

If you can say that with a large library like yours to maintain I think FPC deserves a closer look by me. Thanks. |

<< If you can say that with a large library like yours to maintain I think FPC deserves a closer look by me. Thanks. >> I'm fairly impressed with Lazarus and FPC at first glance. I'll know more when I get into the nitty-gritty of the port. However, it's really our only option for Linux given the Kylix situation. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

I've never taken it seriously since I saw the IDE and a very sluggish app written with FPC, but your post makes me very curious. This was ages ago and maybe it has evolved. You think it's up to snuff for serious development now? Mind you...I'm still on D5. <hangs head in shame> |

<< I've never taken it seriously since I saw the IDE and a very sluggish app written with FPC, but your post makes me very curious. This was ages ago and maybe it has evolved. You think it's up to snuff for serious development now? >> Well, it certainly looks good at first glance, but again, I haven't actually put it through its paces yet. We have had a lot of inquiries about FPC lately, however. We really need to come up with an alternative to Kylix, so FPC is our great hope for such a conversion. We also will be porting the EDB ODBC Driver to UnixODBC, so FPC will be important for that also. << Mind you...I'm still on D5. <hangs head in shame> >> D5 is/was a great version of Delphi, and most of the DBISAM development was done on D3 and D5. All of the DBISAM utilities and servers are still compiled with D5. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
