Sherlock: why "Sad"? Breaking existing code is sometimes better than introducing such, er... "clever" (and fragile) tricks.

"Sometimes" is a word I can relate to. So please consider this post a "consoled face" 😉

That means as a developer of a component/library/framework you should use that yourself in more than a toy project to get a feeling what consequences possible changes have to evaluate if they should be taken or not.

This is the essence: Don't we all have the feeling that Emborcagear is not really dogfooding? This gets obvious when the (FMX) example projects wont compile...something an automated script should pick up in the pre beta phase. The needed changes there could easily be expanded to a "How to cope with our latest breaking changes". And if that is not possible something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

Could you please provide some tickets to better understand what and where. 

FMX comes to mind. The first few versions rarely had anything in common other than the base language. But then...that was work in progress.

Ok ok ok...just try to get back to the topic at hand... which is...um... "Rapid generics"

I'm beginning to feel like this thread should be renamed to "General discussion between masters of the art". And by all means, please continue. I really learn a lot by just reading and following up through secondary literature...

Please don't hijack the conversation to offtopic

I second that.

Well, that sounds OK for english users or people that program in english. For other languages sooner or later you may reach a curios situation. I am the one that reported #112. After a decade of using GExperts I just encountered the issue last month. Normally I search for identifiers of some sort, but this time I actually searched for a text I saw on my GUI, which is in german. So the priority to solve this need not be high. I even dare say it's an IDE issue: pas files may be UTF8, why not dfm/fmx files? Instead, some poor chap was forced to write a conversion method for non ANSI characters...

On fixing this in GExperts...I have no clue how. But it would complete the package, so to speak.

No, in your example both loops will be O(INFINITE).

Well, not quite. It would be O(MaxDouble / x) to be precise.

Yes, you are right. Sorry about that. Typical lazy c&p.

Sorry, but I don't see a correlation between the result of a loop operation and its complexity. (Edith says: please don't) Consider this:

var x: double;

//x = 1000 maybe
while (x > 1) do
     x := x + x;
     
while (x > 1) do
     x := 2 * x;     

Both loops will be O(n).

Edith says: No they wont, stupid C&P error. And lack of basic understanding. Oy vey!

Is there a FixPack for 10.3.1 ?

Have you been hiding in a cave? 😄

I really don't get the whole theming bull anyway. I set my windows to look exactly the way I want it, and along comes some wannabe designer and imposes his take on what a GUI should look like. Most of the time it's just hilarious, but when I have to work with a tool (yes a tool) I want it to be as unobtrusive as possible and just do it's thing. If i want glitter on a hammer I will buy glitter and stick it on there myself. Don't expect everyone to like glitter an a hammer. Jeeeez!

Just for the folks that are unfamiliar with the FizzBuzz Test: http://wiki.c2.com/?FizzBuzzTest

tl;dr: It's supposed to be a fairly quick and standard test to evaluate the skills of a job applicant. Considering that it needs no OOP or any other more modern language structures I guess it's pretty old.

@flashcoderPlease, consider uploading images to the forum. This way they will be here as long as the forum exists. Imgur might delete those images some time in the future, or imgur might stop the service or terms of use or whatever, rendering your post less useful for future generations.

We have one client who uses our software on macOS. All others are Windows and iOS.

Very nice!

Why reimplement features that are present on the clients side?

And spell checking should be a browser feature... at least my Firefox does it for me.

I see what you did there, @Lars Fosdal 😉

But is it still anonymous though?

It really annoys me that they didn't adapt Error Insight for inline declared variables. So ugly!

They would have a ton of other bugs to fix before adding this new feature...all in all it is a waste of time and energy, just scrap it and invest said time and energy into more crucial parts of the IDE.

Can't reproduce. BUT I have stupid Error Insight disabled. Which incidentally is recommended at this time (actually since it was introduced).

Please check your paths.

Also you might want to consider deleting the .dproj and let Delphi rebuild a new one based on the .dpr

Very cool @Attila Kovacs: Now please add possibility to switch between Win32/Win64/iOS/macOS/Linux and Debug/Release 😉

Just kidding. For the average developer this really looks helpful.

There are actually not that many changes in System.Threading.pas. But due to the lack of comments in the code (I hate that) and knowledge in my head (I hate that too) I can't discern which of these changes are bad. On the other hand I'm pretty sure we have a couple of bright guys here, that can find the issue pretty darn fast.
