Free pascal software for linux

Pascal Mock provides a mock library for Delphi/Kylix/FreePascal.
Delphi/Kylix/FreePascal were lacking a mock library. The Pascal Mock library enables the easy creation and use of Mock objects for unit testing, inspired by the various Java mock object tools.
Mock objects ease unit testing by acting as replacements for classes that the object being tested must interact with.
Enhancements:
- Mocked functions now check if their return value was set and raise an easy to understand exception otherwise.
- The mock verification failure message is easier to read because the method which doesnt match expectations is marked.
- Minimal integration with DUnit was added through TMockObjectTestCase.
- Information on a called method can now be retrieved with CalledMethodByName before calling Verify.
- The ability to specify output parameters values for mock methods was added.
- Support for Int64 parameters was added.

Free Pascal (aka FPK Pascal) is a 32 or 64 bit (from 1.9.6) pascal compiler. Free Pascal Compiler is available for different processors Intel x86, Amd64/x86 64 (from 1.9.6), PowerPC (from 1.9.2), Sparc (from 1.9.6) and Motorola 680x0 (1.0.x only).
The following operating systems are supported Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, MacOSX/Darwin, MacOS classic, DOS, Win32, OS/2, BeOS, SunOS (Solaris), QNX and Classic Amiga.
Main features:
- Very clean language Pascal is a very nice language, your programs will be more readable and maintainable than for example in C, and lets even forget about C++. And you dont need to give up the power, the Pascal language is as powerful as you want it.
- No Makefiles Unlike most programming languages, Pascal does not need Makefiles. You can save huge amounts of time, the compiler just figures out itself which files need to be recompiled.
- Pascal compilers are Fast with a big F and Free Pascal is no exception. Yes, you no longer need to grow roots while compiling your programs, just hit the compile key and its done, even for large programs.
- Each unit has its own identifiers In Pascal you never need to worry about polluting the namespace, like in C where an identifier needs to be unique accross the entire program. No, in Pascal each unit gets its own namespace and thats very relaxed.
- Integrated development environment Free Pascal comes with an IDE which work on several platforms, in which you can write, compile and debug your programs. You will save huge amounts of time using the IDE, the best programming friend you have.
- Great integration with assembler Do you think pascal is for wimps who need to learn programming? WRONG! Its excellent for high tech programming and for the supreme nerds among you we have the integrated assemblers. You can easily mix assembler code and Pascal code, in the language you wish? Prefer Intel styled assembler? No problem, if its needed Free Pascal will convert it to ATT for you. Do you want to convert your program into a source file for Nasm? No problem, and all ATT assembler in your source files is automatically converted.
- Object oriented programming And if you do the serious programming, you are of course very interested in object oriented programming. Use the Turbo Pascal and Object Pascal ways of OOP according to your taste. The FCL and Free Vision and provide you with the powerful object libraries you need. For your database needs we support PostgreSQL, MySQL, Interbase and ODBC.
- Smartlinking Free Pascals smart linker leaves out any variable or code that you do not use. That makes small programs small with a big S, while they are still statically linked, avoiding DLL hell!
- Distribution independence (Linux) As a result of this, software compiled by the Linux version of Free Pascal runs on any Linux distribution, making it much, much, easier to make your software support multiple Linux distributions.
- Available for a lot of platforms on several architectures Free Pascal is available for more platforms than most other Pascal compilers and allows easy cross-compiling, just change the target in the IDE and compile! And there is work going on for even more platforms and processors.
- Compatible Have existing code? Free Pascal is more compatible with it than any other Pascal compiler. We are almost completely compatible with Turbo Pascal and quite well compatible with Delphi source code. If you have code in another language, like C or assembler, just use favorite compiler for it and call it from Free Pascal.
Version restrictions:
- For the intel 80x86 version at least a 386 processor is required, but a 486 is recommended. For the motorola 680x0 version, a 68020 or later processor is recommended. In all cases, a minimum of 8 Megabytes of RAM is recommended, but the compiler is reported to work with 4 Megabytes of RAM.

Pas2Dox is a pre-processor addon for the Doxygen documentation generator.
Pascal To Doxygen allows the production of advanced documentation from Delphi/Kylix sourcecode.
Installation:
Compiling from source on Linux
Unpack the archive
# tar xvzf pas2dox-xx.tar.gz
Build the source for a case insensitive scanner, with the following command:
# make
This will perform the follow commands
# flex -i -opas2dox.cpp pas2dox.l
# g++ pas2dox.cpp -o pas2dox
If you need to remove the pas2dox.cpp and pas2dox files, type
# make clean
When performing an upgrade of source code, I suggest you do the following
# make clean && make
Installing the binaries on Linux
Copy the pas2dox binary to /usr/local/bin/pas2dox
# make install
If you need to install to another place, use
# make install INSTALL_DIR="/your/location/here"
Enhancements:
- Added include file for tolower to fix build on linux
- handle default values and multi line comments on enums.
- Updated for typedef
- Dont process end of block comment } in a single comment line
- read / write for properties are now handled correctly. see bug 6
- Additional Doxygen comments on array declaration.
- Assigning a value to a var when declaring it
- Updated copyright year and version
- Swapped typedef
- added -s option to suppress generation of sa comments on property.
- fixed issue with function comments in function definition.
- Additional end check.

Apwal is a simple application launcher for Linux together with a powerful editor. Apwal is developed under the GPL Licence. It is written in C and use the GTK+ toolkit for the graphical interface and XML format to save the settings.
Bind Apwal with the right button of mouse. When Apwal is launched it displays icons around the cursor with transparency. Then simply select the application you want to use.
Apwal Editor is an easy to use graphical interface to configure the Launcher. A powerful Icon Selector help you to locate your icons. A lots of filters are available to simplify the search: by extension, resolution, icon name filter with wildcard, ability to process directory recusively, etc
Enhancements:
- debian: debian/ files updated from Sam advices.
- plenty of good changes have been integrated into gtk2. Use now glib timeouts, gobject closure marshaler, gtk draw_rectangle does not require a padding of 2px in cereimg anymore. Get rid of apwal_file_selection and replace it by gtk file_chooser which allows to select a directory eventually and not only files.
- add option --config i to apwal. Its now possible to create an icon calling recusively Apwal with another config file. It provides a simple way to create submenus (Thanks Bill for the idea).
- Added busy cursor when loading the icons.
- Remove few fixme: in the code.

Alma is a software with the following functionalities :
- Reads several sources (languages, models, ...),
- Helps to design for object-oriented modeling (definition of classes, relations, patterns, ...)
- Modifies the structure and the code
- Outputs new sources, documentation, diagrams, ...
It is designed for object-oriented modelisation (definition of classes and relations) and for migrating (help to convert) code written in old languages to newer ones. It meets two needs : having a simplified software modeling workshop for small projects and make easier rewritings, ports and encapsulation of non-OO code.
This tool will be usefull for developers who get a code and wish to integrate it in a new project, to rewrite a program in a new language, and for the conceptor/architect who will have the possibilities to declare and manipulate classes.
Alma is able t oread these sources:

AntiCutAndPaste is designed to search for text fragments that have been copied and pasted in programming language source code or plain text. AntiCutAndPaste is tested on sources from large C++, Pascal, Java, and C# (Mono) projects.
Algorithms used are very fast and can handle up to three million C++ code lines in one minute. Minor modifications of code are ignored during the search. GUI and command line versions are included. Reports are sorted conveniently by the total size of all similar fragments and there are many report customization options.
Linux command-line implementation is still a Beta version. Please be so kind and visit forums to ask a question or to write a comment.
Main features:
- Compatible with C++, Pascal, Java, C# (Mono) and plain text.
- Small download, prebuild static x86 binary.
- Very fast native x86 code. Processes about 50,000 lines of C++ sources in one second on Pentium 1.0 MHz computer.
- Convenient report sorted by total size of all cloned code places. Lots of report customization options available.
- Free for non-commersial use (Linux version only).
