dmsc Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Hi! Trying to assemble different versions of the Altirra Kernel, I discovered that Mad Assembler does not always generate the correct bytes for all floating points values. Tracking the bug, it came from the different floating-point precision of the generated code, FreePascal uses different approximations for some of the operations than the Delphi compiler, producing different results. I rewrote the floating-point parsing code, using a simpler and more accurate algorithm that does not rely on converting a floating point into a string. Attached is the resulting pascal source. Have Fun! mads.pas 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
