[Pkg-pascal-devel] Status of FPC with hardening

[Abou Al Montacir]

Hi All,

As you may noticed, I was recently very busy with making FPC provide an easy way
to build hardened programs.

I think I'm now done with that and 3.2.2-45 should be, I hope, the last upload
with regards to that goal. It fixed the aarch64 architecture, the only remaining
architecture for which FPC supports PIC/PIE.

The current situation makes developers live easy, just add @hardening to your
fpc compilation command line and it will do it.

Now, there was a price for that, and one additional unitary test is now failing
on i386. It deals with generics, which I don't think too much people use, but I
hope it will get fixed soon by 3.2.4 that I expect to be in the few coming
weeks.

Please let me know about your comments and feedback about this.

Abou Al Montacir
