Thanks for the info. Just downloaded AMD uProf and the installer supports Windows 7 (but haven't tried it yet) ;)

WASM engine in pure Pascal - an interesting open source project to watch!
Edwin Yip posted a topic in RTL and Delphi Object Pascal
And here is the link of the github project: Wasm by marat1961. @Arnaud Bouchez ;) Just in case you didn't know, WASM is a subject of JavaScript that's optimized for speed and cross-platform. -
Thanks! And realized it needs Win 10 and above ;)
-
Another great job done by @Anders Melander (apart from the drag-and-drop component suite)! Another has a download link to the standalone VTune Profiler? I want to avoid downloading the 3.3GB oneAPI toolkit....
-
Maybe price? ;)

Wke4Delphi, alternative to dcef3 or cef4delphi
Edwin Yip posted a topic in Delphi Third-Party
This open source project basically can replace dcef3 or cef4delphi (for embedding the Chromium browser into your program), but the size is much smaller - 6mb zipped. I guess not everyone in the English community knows about it since it's hosted in the Chinese version of github :D https://gitee.com/LangjiApp/Wke4Delphi Basically it's a Delphi wrapper for: https://github.com/weolar/miniblink49 -
Sounds very helpful but I'm out of luck with my old IDE...

Fast lookup tables - TArray.BinarySearch vs Dictionary vs binary search
Edwin Yip replied to Mike Torrettinni's topic in Algorithms, Data Structures and Class Design
mORMot never ceases to surprise me ;) Mike, can you share your benchmarking code on github? -
No problem. Human's language is sometimes ambiguous, the Pascal language is not, fortunately.
-
@Dalija Prasnikar, I don't follow your reasoning. As you said, my advise of not accessing a global TEvent variable is to gain flexibility, but not thread-safety - the thread-safety has been provided by TEvent which is a 'sync object'. So I really don't understand why you said the advise is wrong while you agree on the effects of the advise...
-
I think this the standard and easy way. But don't forget to pass the TEvent object to each threads, avoid accessing any global vars in anywhere including inside the a thread.

Another independently developed code editor control: github.com/lysee/TCodeEdit
Edwin Yip posted a topic in Tips / Blogs / Tutorials / Videos
Came across TCodeEdit, which seems to be an independently developed syntax highlight editor. -
The following is a Microsoft article that explains GDI Scaling very well: https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdeveloper/2017/05/19/improving-high-dpi-experience-gdi-based-desktop-apps/

This is a very well consolidated table! Care to share the source of the (excel?) file?

ANN: StyleControls VCL v. 4.79 is released!
Edwin Yip replied to Almediadev Support's topic in Delphi Third-Party
See by evidence, StyleControls and the developers behind it are just great. I requested a new feature and they implemented it. See the email attached. And such things have been happened many times ;) I'm not associated with almdev but just a satisfied customer :) -
Thanks! Yes, Blend, Merge and Combine, these are the most confusing part!
-
@Anders Melander, I agree, and I appreciate the versatility , flexibility and performance provided by gr32! In addition to the alpha compositing link, would you list other low level principles required to better use GR32? Thanks!
-
And I greatly appreciate that!
-
@angusj, thanks for the very informative reply! Can somehow Image32/Graphics32 work together, for someone who mainly uses gr32 but needed a feature from Image32 but missing from gr32? If not, do you have such a plan in the future?
-
Aside from the insightful info, wow! This is my new year gift. I have been using the gr32 group as the main reference many years ago but somehow I lost the access and my local copy, and somehow the server set in my Thunderbird was wrongly set to gr32.org instead of the correct one - graphics32.org, not sure what happened, maybe there was an domain name change or something like that... Now I'm downloading the 13,000+ threads to my local computer to keep the archive ;)
-
It's Angus's decision and he can do whatever he wants...Although I also wished he continued with gr32... No, I didn't, you must evaluate them and make the choice... sourceforge.net is a collaboration platform and anybody can contribute. I know nothing about if Angus is tough or not :D
-
I haven't checked Image32 in depth, but I compiled and run all the demos and glimpsed the documents, here is my incomplete initial feeling: While not as feature-rich as gr32, Image32 already includes a solid foundation for imaging viewing/blending/manipulation, polygon drawing, text drawing, and so on. IIRC one of the demo which allows mouse drag-and-drop to resize/change perspective and it's more responsive than a demo of gr32 (note, this doesn't imply it's slower for faster, but just a memory of mine...) I want more layer features from Image32... Just FYI.
-
FYI: I've asked Angus Johnson the author of Image32 the why he started Image32 instead of contributing to Graphics32, he pointed me to a public page which had the answer (but no longer exist): he had been contributed to GR32 for many years, and later concluded thta since the code base of GR32 is huge and he'd move faster by starting everything new.

Took the survey :)
