Not much… One is that, these bugs show up rarely with test data, but not so rarely in real world. All it takes is one case. Test data is not random data, one user with one failure case should submit the data and voilà, we’ve got a test case. If no one can provide test … Read more
Now, if you want to change the build configuration you have to add the parameter /p:config=<BUILD_CONFIG_NAME> For example: C:\Projects\TestDelphiApp001>msbuild /target:Build /p:config=Release or C:\Projects\TestDelphiApp001>msbuild /target:Build /p:config=Debug Copied from original “question”; note community wiki.
This is not a bug, but “feature”: For a string, dynamic array, method pointer, or variant result, the effects are the same as if the function result were declared as an additional var parameter following the declared parameters. In other words, the caller passes an additional 32-bit pointer that points to a variable in which … Read more
You could use AnsiIndexText(const AnsiString AText, const array of string AValues):integer or MatchStr(const AText: string; const AValues: array of string): Boolean; (Both from StrUtils unit) Something like: Result := (AnsiIndexText(‘Hi’,[‘Hello’,’Hi’,’Foo’,’Bar’]) > -1); or Result := MatchStr(‘Hi’, [‘foo’, ‘Bar’]); AnsiIndexText returns the 0-offset index of the first string it finds in AValues that matches AText case-insensitively. … Read more
If you compile the Delphi application using the /LARGEADDRESSAWARE flag, it will be able to address the full 4GB on a 64-bit OS. Otherwise, when running in a WOW32, the OS assumes that the app is expecting the same environment that it would have on a 32-bit OS which means that of the 4GB of … Read more
try the LastDelimiter function which is part of the SysUtils unit.
The most likely explanations for that error are: The file you are attempting to load is not an executable file. CreateProcess requires you to provide an executable file. If you wish to be able to open any file with its associated application then you need ShellExecute rather than CreateProcess. There is a problem loading one … Read more
To summarize, the problem happens only with published interface properties that have a getter method, and the property points to component on another form/module (and that form/module is not recreated yet). In such case restoring form DFM causes an AV. I’m pretty sure the bug is in the ASM code in GetOrdProp, but it’s beyond … Read more
There are three solutions to this that I am aware of: Try uninstalling the Windows security update KB2982791 which was already mentioned by Francisco Caffagni. This solved the issue for me (Windows 8.1 + Delphi 2007) but it might not be such a good idea to uninstall a Windows security update. Rename the file every … Read more
