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.

Find a tutorial on how yo use a debugger

The error message seems quite clear. Do you know how to use the debugger to inspect vakues being passed to StrToCurr?

But is anybody going to get paid and have any job security?

It would really help if we could down vote issues as well as up vote them

This post here isn't going to have any impact

I'm quite sure that the people at TIOBE are driven night and day by their intense feelings of envy towards Delphi. I really can't imagine they think about anything else.

What is the pay and working conditions? How long is the contract?

I know what the problem is. My point is that a negative value in a signed integer that is actually holding a pointer, does not imply that a 64 bit value was stored in a 32 bit type.

Negative integer wouldn't be a problem per se. A DLL loaded between 0x80000000 and 0xffffffff would be negative when interpreted as a signed integer.

I'm not a big screen toucher either

32 bit version of MATLAB hasn't existed for at least 5 years

I compared an XPS13 with Macbook Air 13 and the Macbook, 16GB RAM, 512Tb and the prices are £929 vs £1,649. Looking at 32/1Tb the comparison is £1,400 vs £2,000 and the Macbook only has 24Gb because there is no 32Gb option, at least where I am. Perhaps I'm missing something. Is this comparison flawed? Also worth noting that, unless I'm mistake, none of the Macbooks have touch screen displays. You can get a swanky touch screen on the XPS13 and still have a few hundred pounds of change compared to the price for the non touch Mac. I must be missing something.

I asked a question because I am curious. Do you know the answer?

What do Macs come with that equates to Office?
