I get error after open Viewer and trying close it by X button. And now only killing the process can close Viewer app. Delphi 10.3 and Windows 7.

Does a files search from within the IDE (shift+ctrl+F), with Regular Expression enabled, support multi-line searches? I tried for an hour and did not get anything. For example, I would like to find all public var sections located between interface and implementation in units. Can the IDE do this?

I'm working on Ryzen 5900X, the computer after switching from i7 3770 got such wings that I close the windows to keep it from flying away 😉 I work in a virtual machines (vmware), currently I have 2 machines open. The system on the host is Ubuntu, which has very low requirements and low overhead. The ram usage (including the two virtuals) is currently at 10 GB (and I have Firefox open with many tabs, Slack, Telegram and many background services). I strongly recommend AMD

Is it possible to automatically convert the entire Firebird database from win-1250 to UTF-8 encoding? Are there any tools for this purpose? Or using backup/restore?

Yes, you're right... it's about the padding. I didn't specify it explicitly and the default was used, hence there is a difference in the two libraries. Thanks!

I am testing the DEC library and the AES algorithm (Rijndael). To check the correctness of the result I use other sources of ciphertext. And I encountered a small problem. I used two online generators and wrote a script in Python, but the results (ciphertext) has different length in each of them: #devglan #B623A479FC657E31F219287CD191075575B2FB56485D0C22E9168A2BF2289C7165CDA67586A486E14115C754ABA158A84A8C3B521E0DF87505D77649A8F1CB52A03D41E205849F28BCA2DE189A9C65CDB648DBC9F7D49AF2F1704B491E9E2DE6FC357ADC8E15733394C3C75B45570AE77A2A6CB6CC4418A558A78313C0C16478A7D61538B88B486BCAE89235D8FCEEB8 #domain tools #B623A479FC657E31F219287CD191075575B2FB56485D0C22E9168A2BF2289C7165CDA67586A486E14115C754ABA158A84A8C3B521E0DF87505D77649A8F1CB52A03D41E205849F28BCA2DE189A9C65CDB648DBC9F7D49AF2F1704B491E9E2DE6FC357ADC8E15733394C3C75B45570AE77A2A6CB6CC4418A558A78313C0C16478 #python #B623A479FC657E31F219287CD191075575B2FB56485D0C22E9168A2BF2289C7165CDA67586A486E14115C754ABA158A84A8C3B521E0DF87505D77649A8F1CB52A03D41E205849F28BCA2DE189A9C65CDB648DBC9F7D49AF2F1704B491E9E2DE6FC357ADC8E15733394C3C75B45570AE7 The common part agrees, but what are the extra bytes? #devglan: https://www.devglan.com/online-tools/aes-encryption-decryption #domain tools: http://aes.online-domain-tools.com/ Python script: import pyaes, binascii key = b'01234567012345670123456701234567' plaintext = 'Some short description with looooooooong additional data like polish diacritical chars... łóżźćęół and digits 0123456789' encrypter = pyaes.Encrypter(pyaes.AESModeOfOperationCBC(key)) ciphertext = encrypter.feed(plaintext.encode('utf-8')) print('Encrypted:', binascii.hexlify(ciphertext).upper()) Initialization vector is set to 16 zeroes.

Simplified version of the question: is it possible to pass a memory area (pointer) to a method that accepts an array of bytes (TBytes) without copying? If it's not possible, there's no trick, that's too bad. I'm looking for another solution. Thanks for the help...

I have a method (from external code) that takes an array of TBytes as a parameter: procedure Something(const aData : TBytes); and I need to pass to it a (read-only) memory area, allocated by GetMem(). Is it possible to cast this to TBytes (or some other trick) without copying the memory to a separate variable of type TBytes?

See my discovery in other thread about rendering fonts...

I don't think I've written anywhere, but with me practically 99% of classes implement the interface, so there is always an interface behind the class and problems with moving methods to the beginning of the class were ALWAYS present in classes implementing the interface. Yes: I am very happy that I will enter 2021 without this frustrating affliction Happy New Year!

Unfortunately, after editing many methods, the problem appeared again, so this value has no effect 😞

Perhaps the line width is important for this problem. I had 140, now I set 80 and for now the situation has not repeated, I will test for some time, although I want 140 eventually.
