Why would you wrap a memory map with a stream? You use a memory map when you want to access a file using memory operations. But the stream interface reads chunks of the file in a caller provided buffer. If you want a stream interface I don't see the point of a memory map.

That's a strange way to spell C# and Typescript

Heljsberg clearly made the right decision for his own career and I would argue that the world of programming is better for him having move to MS than it would have been had he not.

The thing is, experts have jobs. They aren't interested in micro payments. As a general rule. I doubt EE has ever paid its contributors or ever intended to. It was crappy website that was justly made irrelevant by a far superior one.

Who would contribute to such a site? What would be their motivation? People wouldn't do it for free. Nobody wants to give away their expertise and have it sit behind a pay wall while somebody else profits. Stack Overflow killed EE with a completely different model.

Don't believe random stuff you read on the internet without evidence.

EE hasn't been relevant for 10-15 years

Who does this help?

Don't really know what you mean.

You don't do binary search here. With sorting, you sort and then a single iteration is all you need. That has the same complexity as the sort O(n log n). Without sorting you compare all vs all, so O(n^2). But yeah, no binary search.

Probably, but then for small lists often performance isn't key.

Isn't this better suited to a hash set rather than a string list?

Yes. But you need to use a tool like UnmanagedExports.

Doesn't matter. May as well use nil.

Work out what change needs to be made to the dproj file and script that change using your preferred scripting language. FWIW, this is one reason why I generate my manifest XML in a pre-build script.

It depends. There are lots of different ways to do it. There is no single "best" way.

No. That's a library for creating unmanaged exports from a managed library. So you take a C# library and use DllExport attributes to allow unmanaged code, like Delphi, to consume that C# library with LoadLibrary, GetProcAddress, etc. The question being asked here is very different. It asks if it is possible to make a managed library with Delphi. And that isn't possible.

I'm betting that improving the performance of InRange has no impact on the performance of these reports.

Use a SAX style parser rather than DOM style parser is sometimes an option

Step 1 is to inspect the state of the floating point exception masks while your program is executing. Use trace debugging to do that. Check whether or not my hypothesis is correct.

It's a helper for TArray, not for TArray<T>, by necessity. I think spring4d has something similar.

If you aren't going to reuse existing delphi code then you should also evaluate other tools.

How would you handle non ANSI input?

It's all proscribed by ieee754.

Are you talking about maths, or talking about ieee754?
