Although I am a big fan of rtti and attributes I would choose the const array[enum] of x any day as its compact to write and compile time evaluated (i.e. error if someone introduces a new enum value and forgets to specify an array value for it).

I just tested the Read Only option of with Delphi 10.3 professional. It works fine with GExperts installed, so it probably isn't the culprit. Also, disabling GExperts from the experts manager while it is acive in the IDE works fine for me (after restarting the IDE, GExperts is gone). Enabling it via the stand alone Experts manager brought it back. So everything seems to work as expected. I do use GExperts every day. I don't use Delphi 10.3. I only have it installed to compile and test GExperts. And every time I have to use it I curse it. I don't use the dark theme and I have got lots of more interesting things to do than implementing theming in GExperts. I already had enough trouble to keep GExperts functional when Embarcadero changed the light mode to also be a theme. So, unless somebody submits a patch for this and fixes all the bugs it will most likely cause, theming in GExperts won't happen.

pthread_kill But don't do it. It's surely not the solution to your problem.

Generally, no. I don't know about each and every platform but you either cannot kill unresponsive thread from the outside (application) or you can kill it but effectively doing so will also leave application in totally unstable state. So, if you need to kill the thread, you basically need to kill the application itself.

Firstly, I highly recommend using the new MSSQLODBC Driver 17, or the SQLNCLI 11 diver over the default one. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/windows/microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server-on-windows?redirectedfrom=MSDN&view=sql-server-ver15 What generation is the SQL Server? 2008? 2012? 2016? 2017? 2019? What did you do to set up the SSL support on the client side? This article outlines the steps needed. https://techdocs.broadcom.com/content/broadcom/techdocs/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/layer7-identity-and-access-management/single-sign-on/12-52-02/configuring/policy-server-configuration/user-directories/configure-a-microsoft-sql-server-database-connection-over-ssl.html

The GUI projects have issues, I don't use them and haven't worked on them.. not sure when they broke but will try at least the fix the VCL one. FWIW, the console tests project and the console examples project both compile and run fine. You really don't need a gui to run unit tests, except when developing, and for that I use TestInsight.

Yup, my mistake. Codeinsight doesn't show arrays, even constant ones.

You could also say that the half indicates a half twenty. half tres = 2.5 x 20 = 50 half firs = 3.5 x 20 = 70 half fems = 4.5 x 20 = 90 It is logical, but to a foreigner it does feel a bit jumbled - and why isn't there two twenty somethings like, 1.5 x 20 = 30, and 2 x 20 = 40?

Enabling/disabling even a single privilege can still potentially report ERROR_NOT_ALL_ASSIGNED. It doesn't hurt to handle that condition, just in case.

TRegistry.SaveKey() uses the Win32 API RegSaveKey() function, which fails if the output file already exists, per documented behavior: Perhaps you meant DirectoryExists() instead of FileExists()? You could always call ForceDirectories() before SaveKey(), just in case.
