I am not saying that Delphi is stuck in the Stone Age...

It has progressed to the Bronze Age...

Odd - we also use the TMS VCL UI Pack - but I've never noticed that problem when having two Delphi versions installed in parallel.

Perhaps because we don't use runtime packages in our code?

I love BC, but using GitKraken, the built in comparer there is pretty nice as well.

I've used Peganza Analyzer every time I had to get to know a new code base.

Now, I haven't changed jobs for a long time - so the last license I have is for PA v. 4.x.

Perhaps it is time to get the Expert? Then again - I write a lot less Delphi code these days, as work pushes me in different directions.

@corneliusdavid I replaced shortest with most readable years ago. 😛

Result := MyString
StartPos := Pos('<', Result);
if StartPos > 0
 then  Delete(Result, StartPos, Pos('>', Result) - StartPos + 1); 

Something like this?
Note that it doesn't handle a missing '>', nor does it trim. 

Featurewise - how does Peganza Pascal Expert hold up to TMS FixInsight?

I am not confused. I am frustrated. I want both. 

 

Most of all, I want 64-bit debuggers that understand threads and make it easy and robust to focus debugging on specific threads, and that doesn't suddenly stop breaking on breakpoints or break on "invisible" breakpoints in Indy, or just purely stop responding completely. I'd love to be able to "disable" exception breaks for specific threads and only for those threads.

 

I want the broken HighDPI properly and finally fixed.

I want the code generation significantly improved for 64-bit. 

I want RTL, VCL and FireMonkey to be rock solid and efficient.

 

 

But - also ...

I want Generics constraints for enumerated types so that I can use enumerated type and set type operators.

I want proper nullable type support, including the relevant operators. 

I want ARM support for Windows.

I want ARM/Linux support for Raspberry PI.

I want the static code analysis capabilities of FixInsight and similar, to be built into the DSP.

I want a package manager that really works, unlike GetIt which is just a glorified downloader and installer.

I want Swagger support for APIs.

 

Two and a half year later... I still want the above.

Perusing the source code, it appears that a Print capability is supported.
Regular FMX doesn't have print preview, so I doubt there is SKIA support for that.

That will open +1.5 billion client market.

I bet that many of those will also recognize the western calendar years.

Brgds, a Wood Dragon.

Ref, next major version of Delphi...

Triskaidekaphobia IS to be trifled with 😛

I do wish more companies would simply adopt a calendar centric version.  

RAD Studio <year>.<release>.<patch>.<build>

I also wish that the minor releases could be installed in parallel! 

I don't use packages except those that exist by default compile time, so I haven't really seen it as a massive problem, but yes - any list that needs a scrollbar, probably also needs a filter.

Not to forget, FMX+SKIA+LOTTIE files.

What drives me nuts, is the UACs that flashes the icon but doesn't bring the window to front.

There are Windows settings that can affect the bring to front behaviour.

Also, Windows drivers and layout management tools can affect the behaviour.

It has no filter box as far as I can tell. 

Please make a complete compilable executable example. The listed code does not illustrate proper generic references.

It is not clear what you are trying to achieve, it being manipulating an input value or an internal value, nor what value you are trying to modify.

If you are using pointer references to modify values, your code isn´t really generic anymore.

Have you filed a feature request in QualityPortal?

how can delphi able to use the 64bit dll?

Is the Delphi app 64-bit?

That's terrible.

AFAIK, it is a C++ only issue.

TBH, I've never used the formatter, except a couple of times by accident - which quickly was undone.
I do have a somewhat unconventional formatting, but given that the team has adopted it as well - I'd say it works.

11.3 works well on WfW for ARM under Parallells on my MBP M1 Pro.

It was because of copy&paste in these forums. It's not intentional. 

Ctrl+Shift+V = paste as plain text.

https://www.charlesproxy.com/ is invaluable for debugging authentication sequences, well, technically any kind of web request.

I've used it to find the difference between a working OAuth2 authentication .NET app, and a non-working Delphi app and solve the Delphi problem.
