Delphi 13.2 Linux

Hi Arnaud, 
do you plan to support Delphi 13.2 on Linux?
It would be really interesting to analyze the quality of the generated assembly code and the compiler's code emitter.
thank you

Re: Delphi 13.2 Linux

I did not make any tests, but I guess the current trunk version should work.
It compiles just fine with Delphi 13.1 for Linux.

Any feedback is welcome.
But the main issue will be the lack of native asm in Delphi for Linux, so some of the performance process (e.g. crypto or UTF-8/Base-64 process) would still be behind FPC for sure.
It was reported that the 13.2 compiler gives much better performance than 13.1 - but it was not difficult because 13.1 was just awfully un-optimized.
