IDE Fix Pack 4.5 developer snapshot 3
Andy's Blog
– And another developer snapshot of IDE Fix Pack. This time the split in IDE Fix Pack and Compiler Speed Pack has begun in the XE2 version. This allows me to address the 32 bit and the 64 bit compiler. What changed: The installer doesn’t cause Windows 7 to ask you if it installed correctly. XE2: ...

New IDE Fix Pack 4.5 developer snapshot (dev 2)
Andy's Blog
– With the help of an IDE Fix Pack user I was able to find a bug in the directory cache that caused the background compiler and the ErrorInsight parser to fail. The “forground” compiler and the CodeInsight compiler weren’t affected by this bug because they run in the main thread and not in a ...

IDE Fix Pack 4.5 developer snapshot
Andy's Blog
– I’ve put IDE Fix Pack 4.5 back into development as it wasn’t as stable as I wanted it to be. But this also allows me to put new optimizations into the code and improve the performance of older optimizations. Furthermore I added support for RAD Studio XE2+Update 1. What has changed and what is new ...

Where is IDE Fix Pack for XE2?
Andy's Blog
– I haven’t released the IDE Fix Pack for XE2 yet, but it exists since Sept. 9 (I arrived too early in Cologne for the Delphi-Tage and had nothing else to do). But why haven’t I already released it then? The answer is simple. I want IDE and compiler bugs to be sent to Embarcadero and not me. And I ...

DDevExtensions 2.5 with XE2 support
Andy's Blog
– The new DDevExtensions 2.5 supports the brand new RAD Studio XE2. If you enable the “Replace Open File At Cursor” config checkbox, you will be able to open units that aren’t fully unit scope qualified (like “Windows” instead of “Winapi.Windows”). The IDE doesn’t seem to support this, so I added the ...

IDE Fix Pack 4.4 released
Andy's Blog
– The IDE Fix Pack 4.3 release had a bug in the directory cache implementation. I was naive enough to think that if a TryGetValue kind of function returns false, the output value can stay uninitialized. But not so with the Delphi compiler’s file search function if you compile a package. There, even if ...

IDE Fix Pack 4.3 released
Andy's Blog
– After 2 months of beta testing and daily usage, I release the next version of IDE Fix Pack 4.3. This release introduces the “compiler directory cache” feature that collects all files in the compiler’s search path before the actual compilation starts. With this cache in place, the compiler’s brute ...

Hiding the TObject.Create constructor
Andy's Blog
– If you design your classes you may get to a point where you want to have multiple overloaded constructors in your class. But all these overloaded constructors have parameters and a parameter-less constructor doesn’t make sense. And it should be forbidden to call it. Unfortunately Delphi doesn’t ...

That is ...
