(glGenFramebuffers is opengl4, do you have a opengl 4 card and do you create a opengl4 context ?)

Munair, you can indeed divide by a constant using magic numbers but not if dividing by a variable Yes, and that is useful if you don't do anything else. If it is just about doing the most div/mod in a tight loop, consider SIMD. SARG, I find it hard to believe that the chip makers haven't optimized ...

Note that Lazarus itself is based on either QT or GTK under Linux. (usually distros ship GTK, but most application developers use QT due to better stability)

It is possible that the extender has snapped up all extended memory. IIRC you could tell it to allocate less using environment variables. (DPMI_MAXMEM or something similar)

Dos always executes in the parent's memory space as it is a single process OS. Afaik this is normal

You system is simply underspeced. 4GB for Windows 10 is not workable. That might not even provide a gigabyte free for applications, the rest is eaten up by the system

Congratulations!

It probably depends if your FB supports SEH exception handling (Windows native table driven excceptions), rather than SJLJ.

Note that that question might vary depending on 32-bit/64-bit windows target.

For non Windows targets it is meaningless, and the code would need to be totally rewritten

(Correction: the 5700g is Zen3, at half the cache and slightly higher freqs as the 5700X. It is the desktop -U series that is derived from Zen2)

A text editor can do auto completion too.

Many things like "END IF" were probably originally added to lessen the dependency of formatting (line-based, identation or otherwise) on syntax, and thus avoid bugs. I mostly lean towards "no single line block" principle nowadays. It is safer, and because in that case a block alw...

A common forum bot creates user names with camel cased first names and random suffixes (not names per se). Like all attempts at AI they are recognizable that they don't really answer the question, and/or lack details. Some parts look like copy and past. Chatgpt is a next level in the sense that it i...
