  1. Once this issue is resolved, take a look at class helpers. Perhaps this could help get around the need to change RTL/VCL units.
  2. Hence my feeling for the need of discussion.
  3. I presume you copied this altered version to your projects path...? And it is missing from the other project? Project requirements that require a change to a file which might in turn get changed with every patch/update of the IDE are at least worthy of discussion.

    ActionList Editor: New Standard Action...

    I'm guessing this is one of the shortcomings of Jira Service Manager vs. Jira. I considered the option to vote for a call a good thing too.
  6. @Rick_Delphi Please don't kill this forums raison d'être. 😉
  7. Funny this has remained unmentioned thus far: Object Pascal Handbook by Marco Cantù ...especially because it is free.

    Do you need an ARM64 compiler for Windows?

    Well, considering Windows on ARM will be gaining momentum as soon as some of these https://www.windowscentral.com/hardware/laptops/here-are-the-9-pc-makers-supporting-qualcomms-game-changing-snapdragon-x-elite the streets, it might be a smart move to get the compiler running. But that's just my totally unprofessional opinion. On the other hand, MS themselves are increasing the pressure. Just look at the agenda for this years "Build": https://build.microsoft.com/en-US/sessions/9d806202-be61-4b5d-ba0d-59ecfcaf0482?source=sessions
  9. Now where would be the fun in that?
  10. Sometimes I'm thankful for my ignorance. I didn't even know it was possible to concatenate without the +. Otherwise I would be in Anders' position and screaming bloody murder.

    Writing if statement in the Code Editor

    D12.1, 100%, Dark Theme. Broken behavior: And there is enough space above and below for the hint to move.
  12. I think it is not filling the fields themselves, but the words used to fill them. Some "Heuristics" are really just that simple. Take Windows UAC installer detection for example. If an exes name contains Install, setup or even patch it will automatically need to be run with elevated privileges. If however you provide a manifest requesting a non elevated execution level the UAC will not elevate.

    Delphi 12.1 is available

    Web installer worked fine for me too. Impressive list of fixes. Worried about the future of bug tracking though.

    Delphi 12.1 is available

    Just spent the last 30 minutes staring at the screen, waiting for progress. Task manager showed high load in MS Defender...so I finally killed that and now the web installer is running. I wonder what was amiss there....

    This is 12 patch 1 version info. They must have done something....

    Regression - Delphi 12 - IsZero()

    OK here's what I don't get. Seeing this const FuzzFactor = 1000; SingleResolution = 1E-7 * FuzzFactor; DoubleResolution = 1E-15 * FuzzFactor; I have to ask myself, why not const SingleResolution = 1E-4; DoubleResolution = 1E-12; Sure the calculation happens only once, and FuzzFactor seems to explain a magic number but then we still have those other magic numbers... just an observation.

    Bugs - where to write to fix it?

    The word you are looking for is "incomplete".
  18. D'uh! Should have figured that one out by myself. Sorry about that. Carry on.
  19. I feel you got a typo in your code, @dummzeuch type TNullableDateTime = record private FIsValid: INullableTypesFlagInterface; FValue: TDateTime; public function Dump: string; // other methods and operators end; // ... implementation // ... function TNullableDateTime.Dump: string; begin if IsValid then Result := DateTimeToStr(Value) // <- should be FValue? else Result := '<invalid>'; end; Should the Dump function not refer to FValue?

    DelphiLint v1.0.0 released!

    OK, so after a test run and wondering what took so long for a barely more than "Hello World" project... the product seems to have an issue with UNC paths. Filed it as #17

    DelphiLint v1.0.0 released!

    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.

    Nice find @Lars Fosdal
  23. Congrats. I got used to VM, running a Windows VM on a Mac made it easy to develop for three platforms (Win, macOS, iOS)... never tried Android, but should work out.
  24. Rolling back the VM is not an option?
  25. I'm on the edge of my seat to see where this will lead...
