1. I know this is a delphi forum, however I just downloaded the latest Indy snapshot(revision: 5218). It's working fine on windows and linux. On OSX I get an error(IdGlobal.pas),
Macapi.Mach not found:

I did a quick google search. Macapi.Mac it's a Delphi interfaces to Mac framework and it's not available on lazarus.Is there a workaround?
I had no problem with Indy 10.6.0.0. Worked just fine on Windows, Linux and OSX.

Thanks.

Yes, it's up to date! My mistake, somehow I mixed up the different versions.

That was a group effort:

Just perfect Remy, works like a charm!

You don't need the Lazarus IDE, just a text editor(line 39):



I also see that you changed the old indy logo with a new, nicer one. 

Thank your for all the good work!

That is an older document.  UInt64 was added in FPC 2.1.5 as an alias for 
QWord:

http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/system/uint64.html

> I hope it's the right type!

Yes, it is.  I just wanted to make sure that QWord was a predefined type 
and not one that needs to be imported from another unit.  According to the 
doc you linked to, it is a predefined type, so that is good.

Thank you Remy! I will run a few test tomorrow on my MAC.

According to the Mac developer library the return value of mach_absolute_time() is uint64_t(delphi UInt64  = 0..18446744073709551615),
however there is no UInt64 in FPC, only QWord:
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refsu5.html

I hope it's the right type! What would be the sympthoms if  mach_absolute_time() returns the wrong value?
How would effect a client/server application for example?

Thanks.  I have added it to IdGlobal.pas.  Though I suspect the QWORD might 
be a problem, I don't know if it is predefined or not.

AFAIK, yes.

I'm afraid it's not implemented yet, but it shouldn't be to difficult:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/qa/qa1643/_index.html
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/qa/qa1643/_index.html

{code}
type
  TTimebaseInfoData = record
    numer: LongWord;
    denom: LongWord;
  end;

  function mach_timebase_info(var TimebaseInfoData: TTimebaseInfoData): Integer; cdecl; external 'libc';
  function mach_absolute_time: QWORD; cdecl; external 'libc';     
{code} 

You only need this two function from Macapi.Mach?

Thank you!

That is a Delphi unit, not a FreePascal unit.  I don't know if/what the FreePascal 
equivilent would be.  You will probably also have trouble with the Macapi.CoreServices 
reference in the "uses" clause of the implementation section.

Indy 10.6.1.0 added new 64-bit tick counters:

Indy 10.6.1, 64-bit Tick Counters
http://www.indyproject.org/sockets/blogs/ChangeLog/20140905.aspx

To facilitate that on OSX, Indy had to switch from using AbsoluteToNanoseconds() 
to using mach_timebase_info() and mach_absolute_time() instead, thus the 
newer use of Macapi units.  That code has not been tested on FreePascal yet. 
 I guess it does not work yet.

If you can find out which FreeFascal unit(s) declare those functions, I can 
update Indy to use them.
