Embarcadero still not fixing this annoying problem after several updates made me add the IDE toolbar expert to GExperts. Now I remove all the toolbars and enable the GExperts one. Works fine for me. (If you use the IDE dark mode, you will probably not like it.)

With that kind of qualification I would expect a 6 digits salary. (But I'm not interested anyway.)

Did you ever try that? The biggest hurdle in updating any packages for a new Delphi version was moving from 2007 to 2009, where string changed from AnsiString to Unicode. But even that was easier than I expected for most components suites. With most packages you need to update some central include file and create new package projects. The source code will compile fine most of the time. Usually that takes at maximum an hour (but I have had cases where the Update took me several days due to some problems I introduced myself). But this will only work if you bought the source code, which I have always recommended because you never know when some 3rd party vendor might go out of business. And you won't get the latest features of course.

This is one of my pet pevees with Github: It's difficult to find out which repository is the official one. (Especially since everybody keeps telling me: In git all repositories are equal,)

OK, I bite: What's the problem with SameValue?

What's wrong with Assert(SameValue(Value, Should)) Or, if you want to set the maximum allowed difference yourself Assert(SameValue(Value, Should, MaxDelta)) Edit: @Cristian Peța already suggested that.

I've been asked this question several times before: Yes I did, no I won't. Edit: I should have mentioned that this is also answered in the FAQ in the post pinned to this sub forum: https://en.delphipraxis.net/topic/4123-about-gexperts-some-frequently-asked-questions/

Very important, if you use TForm.OnCreate events and plan to work with Delphi 10 and 12.3 in parallel for a while: They dropped the TForm.OldCreateOrder property. All previous Delphi versions set this value to False when a new form was created in the IDE. But if open an existing project in Delphi 12 and save a dfm file, the OldCreateOrder value will be removed. When you then open it in Delphi 10 OldCreateOrder will get assigned its default value, which is True. So by saving in Delphi 12 and then in Delphi 10 the OldCreateOrder value changes from False to True. Uwe Raabe blogged about the consequences this can have. On top of that you will likely have much "fun" with Windows per display scaling which is supported by Delphi 12.

If you have been updating the GExperts sources (or are following the activity on SourceForge) you might have noticed that there quite a few bugs have been fixed. That was not me alone (I am on vacation so I have some more time than usual) but also @Achim Kalwa (thanks Achim!). Many of these fixes were for the code formatter, but there are some more for glitches in the UI, in particular for scaling problems. read on in the blog post.

If you pass a const parameter which you want to reference by its address in asm code, you need to make sure that it actually is passed as a reference and not in any other form.

Maybe if you want to use ASM to access the parameter?

Aren't we doing that right now?
