Fun observations on the GoTo topic: https://jerf.org/iri/post/2024/goto/

Here is a dangerous example of Goto causing endless loop you never finish this gamebook's first edition. In the gamebook You Can Be The Stainless Steel Rat by Harrison. There's an example of a typo goto 290 should be goto 190. https://stainlesssteelrat.fandom.com/wiki/You_Can_Be_The_Stainless_Steel_Rat

To uninstall from your IDE, you remove it like any other package through Components > Install Packages. If you’d like to totally remove all traces of DelphiLint from your system, deleting the folder %APPDATA%\DelphiLint will do the trick. Although, if you’re uninstalling because you want to install a newer version of DelphiLint instead, there’s no need to do any of this - the install script automatically uninstalls any old versions.

My workmachine is not quite JRE free, due to IBM ACE. But in general, I don't install Java apps if I can avoid it.

See Subclassing Controls on MSDN, and Safer subclassing on Raymond Chen's blog. For example: uses Winapi.CommCtrl; function CalendarSubclassProc(hWnd: HWND; uMsg: UINT; wParam: WPARAM; lParam: LPARAM; uIdSubclass: UINT_PTR; dwRefData: DWORD_PTR): LRESULT; stdcall; begin case uMsg of WM_LBUTTONDOWN: begin TDateTimePicker(dwRefData).Format := ''; end; WM_NCDESTROY: begin RemoveWindowSubclass(hWnd, @CalendarSubclassProc, uIdSubclass); end; end; Result := DefSubclassProc(hWnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam); end; procedure TForm1.DateTimePicker1DropDown(Sender: TObject); var cal: HWND; begin cal := DateTime_GetMonthCal(DateTimePicker1.Handle); SetWindowSubclass(cal, @CalendarSubclassProc, 1, DWORD_PTR(DateTimePicker1)); end;

However, it might not be permitted to do so in corporate environments.

True, but don't say that out loud. sEE, i'M uSiNg GoToS; iM A hiGhLy SkIlLeD pRoGraMmEr!

For your assets on the Releases page please, please don't use the Codenames only. I just sat in front of my Delphi with an open project and could not quickly find out if the ubiquitous number 12 represents the elusive city of Alexandria or Athens, unsure of which of your Assets to download. If you must waste space by using Codenames, then please at least waste two spaces more by adding the version you mean to address....or to satisfy my Monkness scrap the Codenames altogether.

Hey Y'All, We are officially in the 16 to 17 seconds: $ time ./bin/sbalazs /tmp/measurements-1_000_000_000.txt 32 {...} real 0m16.422s user 3m46.669s sys 1m29.654s Only 15 to 16 seconds to go Cheers, Gus

Before anyone gets too upset, my perspective is based on dealing with legacy code you have come into. There are numerous advantages to encapsulating global variables. Not only do you establish a measure of access control, but if you expose them as properties with getters and setters, you can easily set breakpoints to discover points of interaction. Equally, you could introduce logging. But even without those benefits, you will be altering the calling code to reference MyGlobals.SomeState, rather than simply SomeState. Once you have accomplished that tedious task, it is also a simple matter to search for all such references by searching on MyGlobals. Other benefits will become apparent as you work through things.

Thank you for your fast support, it is working now! Also this is a very impessive Tool. I will next try it with the SC-Server to have more control over the rules. It will be a Standardtool for me, when i make it to add/remove/tweak some rules... Anyway it is still helpful in the Offline-Configuration.

Is it still not possible to create self-contained executables with Java? If so it would be nice because that would remove the requirement for the JRE.
