If you can distribute one file you can distribute more than one. This always feels like a pointless discussion. Solving a problem that doesn't exist.

Usually each release comes with a bunch of bugs fixed, and a new set of bugs released into the wild. I do think the product is slowly getting better though.

Do they treat you differently when you answer?

Who cares about TIOBE? It's just irrelevant.

It's strange that if this is what you want that you ask for something else. Classic XY problem.

Address space fragmentation and sub allocation fragmentation.

Love the engagement here from the poster

Yes, but what is reporting the memory leak? There are lots of leak detection tools. If you use full fastmm then you can get allocation stack traces. It doesn't sound like you've really understood the issue. Normally Text would just map directly to GetText. But we still have no idea what Value is. This thread displays a deeper problem. That you think we can tell you what is happening with such incomplete details highlights the fact that you are also trying to solve the problem without those details.

We can't guess what the code is. We still don't know how you are detecting.

We've no idea what Value is. How are you detecting that there's a leak.

Is the debugging experience still terrible though?

How are you detecting that the memory has been leaked?

"Material is not a valid floating point value" Ask yourself why you are trying to convert the text Material to a numeric value. Do you know why yet??

This seems extremely optimistic

Set a break point on the line where the error occurs. When the code breaks there inspect the value of the argument passed to StrToCur.
