Help needed. Re-raising exception gives AV.
Lars Fosdal replied to a topic in RTL and Delphi Object Pascal
program SydnetExceptionsReRaise; {$APPTYPE CONSOLE} uses System.SysUtils; function LogExceptionFunc(const E: Exception): string; begin Result := E.Message; Writeln('Func Log + ' + E.Message); end; procedure LogExceptionProc(const E: Exception); begin Writeln('Proc Log + ' + E.Message); end; procedure Test1_OK; begin try try raise Exception.Create('This is a raised Exception'); except on E: Exception do begin LogExceptionProc(E); raise; end; end; except on E: Exception do begin Writeln('Test 1 ', E.ClassName, ': ', E.Message); end; end; end; procedure Test2_OK; var lMessage: string; begin try try raise Exception.Create('This is a raised Exception'); except on E: Exception do begin lMessage := LogExceptionFunc(E); raise; end; end; except on E: Exception do begin Writeln('Test 2 ', E.ClassName, ': ', E.Message); end; end; end; procedure Test3_Fail; begin try try raise Exception.Create('This is a raised Exception'); except on E: Exception do begin LogExceptionFunc(E); raise; end; end; except on E: Exception do begin Writeln('Test 3 ', E.ClassName, ': ', E.Message); end; end; end; begin try try Test1_OK; Test2_OK; Test3_Fail; except on E: Exception do begin Writeln('Unexpected ',E.ClassName, ': ', E.Message); end; end; finally Write('Press Any Key'); ReadLn; end; end. Here you go. No joke. -

If you expand it with the examples that actually works - it would be sufficient for a QP, IMO. -

Interestingly, the two following changes eliminates the AV on raise. Either, change LogException to a procedure procedure LogException(const E: Exception); begin Writeln('Log + ' + E.Message); //Logging('Blah blah' + Result, 'Exceptions'); FYI end; or assign the result to a variable: on E: Exception do begin lMessage := LogException(E); // AV in Sydney, OK i Berlin // LogExceptionEx(E, lMessage); // OK raise; end; It does look like a compiler problem. Is there a QP report? -
Clearly, it is based on jokes alone.

tsslhttpcli TSslHttpCli Access violation at address or 404 error
Lars Fosdal replied to Estefanie's topic in ICS - Internet Component Suite
I guess injecting a deprecated statement for the old class could be an option - or is that too brutal. -
@Jim McKeeth should kick some shins to have a new roadmap produced.

Blocking the Windows Screen Saver in Delphi

I can't remember why not - prolly because Numlock was the first to spring to mind. Anyways, I've been using this for years now, and never experienced any adverse side effects. -

Have any of you seen something similar to this? Delphi 10.3.3 -

Lars Fosdal replied to Lars Fosdal's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
Well, it sort of forced my hand in switching to 10.4.1 a little ahead of time. Going live on new version to day. Oh, such fun to reconfigure all the build scripts 😛 -

Lars Fosdal replied to Lars Fosdal's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
Doh! Ref. https://blogs.embarcadero.com/ide-plugins-in-rad-studio-10-4-1/ The solution was to use GetIt to uninstall 1.6.1 and install 1.6.2. -
There is an extra fee for solving homework problems, isn't there?

Generics: Classes vs Records - Differences in use
Lars Fosdal posted a topic in Algorithms, Data Structures and Class Design
Thread split off from if Data.TryGetValue(aId, vNewData) then vNewData.DataName := aName; else begin vNewData := TDataRec.Create; vNewData.DataId := aId; vNewData.DataName := aName; Data.Add(aId, vNewData); end; @Stefan Glienke - What is the best container for random lookup access for records? -
Best Practices for FireDAC FetchMode/RecordCount Settings
Lars Fosdal replied to Larry Hengen's topic in Databases
Indexing and doing index maintenance is crucial to maintain performance. If the queries can be done completely free form, that will be a challenge. IMO, there are few settings to FireDAC that really affects the performance once the query has been passed to the server. -
Generics: Classes vs Records - Differences in use
Lars Fosdal replied to Lars Fosdal's topic in Algorithms, Data Structures and Class Design
In my experience, it is far easier to use classes when you need to modify contents. I wish it weren't so, and it can be worked around - but then usually with pointer references, and at that point (pun intended), I might as well be doing objects and maintain type safety and support polymorphism. -

Generics: Classes vs Records - Differences in use
Lars Fosdal replied to Lars Fosdal's topic in Algorithms, Data Structures and Class Design
I am trying to improve my tendency to spin off a discussion in a thread focused on something else, so here we are. To reiterate, my preference for classes over records with regards to generics, is that read-only generics for records works perfectly for its use, but when you need to update the content in the record, it becomes a very different exercise. You either need to have structure specific methods to change the record field values, or you must copy the entire record, modify it, and the copy it back. The first option wreaks havoc on reuse, and the second option can become a performance bottleneck if the record is large. Even more so, if the record is multidimensional, containing records with arrays of records. The same kind of change in a multidimensional class, is trivial in comparison. @David Heffernan - hence my "the amount of reuse" argument. -

We also know that the two need to be handled differently when it comes to changing their contents. -
