Editing Object Pascal (section)

==Compilers==
Object Pascal [[compiler]]s are available for a wide range of [[operating system]]s and architectures.

* [[Delphi (software)|Delphi]] is probably the best known compiler. It is the successor of the highly successful Borland Pascal and [[Turbo Pascal]] product line. It targets [[Windows 9x]] (Delphi 2007 and older), the [[Windows NT]] family, [[.NET Framework]] (Delphi 8, 2005, 2007), [[macOS]] (Delphi XE2 and later), [[iOS]] (Delphi XE2 and later, generating native binaries in XE4 and later), [[Android (operating system)|Android]] (Delphi XE5 and later, generating native binaries in XE5 and later). Support for .NET finally became a separate product known as Oxygene (see below).
* [[Free Pascal]] Compiler (FPC) is an open-source Object Pascal compiler that supports many Pascal dialects, including [[Turbo Pascal]] 7, Delphi, and others. Currently, FPC can generate code for [[IA-32]], [[x86-64]], [[PowerPC]], [[SPARC]], and [[ARM architecture|ARM]] processors, and for several operating systems, including [[Microsoft Windows]], [[Linux]], [[FreeBSD]], [[Classic Mac OS]], and [[macOS]] (with an [[Xcode]] integration kit). Several separate projects exist to facilitate rapid application development with FPC, the most prominent one being [[Lazarus (IDE)]].
* [[GNU Pascal]] (a separately distributed part of the [[GNU Compiler Collection]]), while not formally aimed at the Delphi dialect of Pascal, does contain a Turbo Pascal compatibility mode, and is very slowly incorporating a few Delphi language features. It is unsuitable for recompiling large bodies of Delphi code directly, but is notable as having prolific support for operating systems and hardware architectures.
* [[Oxygene (programming language)|Oxygene]] (formerly ''Chrome'') is an Object Pascal compiler from [[RemObjects Software]] that integrates into [[Microsoft Visual Studio]]. It is also available as free [[command-line interface]] compiler that runs native on [[Common Language Infrastructure|CLI]]. It is three compilers in one, each targeting a different platform: Echoes for [[.NET Framework]], [[Mono (software)|Mono]], [[Windows Runtime|WinRT]] and [[Windows Phone 8]], Cooper for [[JDK]] and [[Android (operating system)|Android]], and Nougat for [[iOS]] and [[macOS]].

===Legacy products===
* [[Borland Kylix]] was a [[Linux]] variant of Delphi which only targets Intel 32-bit Linux using the [[Qt (software)|Qt]] library. It does not work out of the box with most modern Linux distributions.
* [[Virtual Pascal]] was a free 32-bit Turbo Pascal and Delphi compatible compiler for mainly [[OS/2]] and Microsoft Windows. Later, it also received a DOS+ Extender and an experimental Linux cross-compiler. The compiler's development stopped at about the level of Delphi 2. In 2007, its official website ceased to operate, and further development ceased.
