    Delphi and "Use only memory safe languages"

    Hasn't this already been demonstrated with "smart pointers"?

    Delphi and "Use only memory safe languages"

    I wonder if anyone has tried to train an LLM on Assembly code generation to see if it could improve the current optimization patterns?
  3. You are probably right, only some operators might be new/different (ARM f.x.). Book: https://www.amazon.com/Hackers-Delight-2nd-Henry-Warren/dp/0321842685
  4. I am afraid so, even if it probably is somewhat outdated by now, in the light of new CPUs.

    Yeah, they are not exactly known for responsiveness.

    Delphi Low-code No-code?

    No code is in reality indeed a non-existing concept, however IBM App Connector Enterprise is a pretty impressive No/Low code tool, but it costs an arm and a leg. We've moved hundreds of integrations to IBM ACE and APIC. It scales well, security is not an afterthought, it supports a ton of protocols, integration mechanisms or data formats, and has proper CI/CD support. And... the GUI sucks, and the primary "lowcode" language is ESQL - which is IBM proprietary 😛 Price aside, still a better alternative than unproven No/Low code plugins for Delphi. Personally, I'd prefer to do integrations in .NET/C#. An abundance of tooling and libs, and runs on multiple platforms.

    @bdw_nz20 Unfortunately, the search is quite rudimentary, compared to the full Jira UI.

    Read this very thread and find out why.

    You are not wrong, but it beats no system.

    Delphi 12.1 is available

    @Attila Kovacs It seems that if you register an issue in the new Jira, you will be added to the group automagically. But, please enter an actual issue, not just a BS one. They are working on a fix for the group assignment.

    Delphi 12.1 is available

    Not really... but there is a bug where new users doesn't get added to the appropriate group aka Embarcadero Customers, something that prevents you from seeing issues that others have posted still missing a full port of issues from the old JIRA They are working on both - but wanted to get the new Jira up and running. Yes, it is not as good for us end users as the old one, but it is not bad either. Check your Requests button to see if you can see the group. That search button is non-functional. It appears to be intended for a FAQ lists (which currently doesn't exist). Also see @Dalija Prasnikar' notes: https://dalijap.blogspot.com/2024/04/delphi-121-new-quality-portal-released.html

    Bookmarks and Navigator addin

    Upgrading my primary workstation, I also found out that even when I uninstall Navigator (and not Bookmarks) from 12.0 - I stil get a complaint from the 12.1 installer that it can't find the Parnassus_XAthens.dll, even though it still is in the folder. It also complains about the FMXLinux plugin. Go figure.

    Bookmarks and Navigator addin

    I just tested. In case you forgot to backup your \Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ParnassusShared folder, you can uninstall/reinstall Navigator for 11.x without affecting 12.x. Not sure of how that would affect 10.x, though.

    Bookmarks and Navigator addin

    Navigator causes a number of issues. I recommend uninstalling it for 12.0 if you have it installed, before installing 12.1. And, yes, it definitively screws the 11.x install as well, so back up the old DLLs before uninstalling and reinstalling
  19. Variable not initialized - I set that one to raise a compile error - because those WILL bite you. Also, you will get that if you init the variable inside a try block, instead of before the block. Hints are often nearly as important as warnings. Value never used can f.x. mean that you are referring to the wrong variable elsewhere you are mistakenly replacing the value elsewhere before the one you initially set could be used or, you didn't need to set that value because it would have been set elsewhere anyways

    Delphi 12.1 is available

    I've not had issues with this as long as I keep the old settings. I upgrade two VMs and my workstation. If you run into installation counter issues, contact EMBT support. As for GetIt installations - yeah... that is "fun". I keep my IDE on a GetIt component low count diet.

    @shineworld AFAIK, only patches and hotfixes come via GetIt. @Tommi Prami Yes, the installer barfs on restarting the installation due to Navigator, but it should be able to recover. Mine did.

    It downloads as 7.2Gb.

    That is indeed a bit odd, since the 12.0 ISO was 7.13Gb.
