    Many people are here and that is all that matters

    Not really, that searchable data had huge value. Most weird issues/errors had many iterations of fixes and additional information.

    Certainly while stuck with several of those over the years a quick search was all that was needed.. its the difference between a few minutes and an extended pause..

    entire Firebird database from win-1250 to UTF-8 encoding?

    Assuming you have no 'explicit COLLATE ' in your tables you can use ALTER CHARACTER SET on an empty DB and batch move data into that.

     

    Or add this to your creation statement, keep in mind there where speed issues with UNICODE_CI_AI until v3.07: 

    CREATE DATABASE :FileName
USER :UserName PASSWORD :Pwd
PAGE_SIZE 16384
default character set UTF8 collation UNICODE_CI_AI ;

    The external sources where much much more used

     

    You mean while they repeatedly shut down and wipe historic info from the newsgroups and the forum for extended periods?

     

    Because I thought it was a perfect split, SO for code stuff and those Newsgroups and Forums for hard to figure out errors and missing documentation.

    I'm not able to reproduce in a small case

    This has been an issue on and off for a while now.

    Projects don't even need to be very large for it to happen and its better in one release then comes back with an update.

     

    Steps that helped, depending on Release version:

    • Remove all source but your project's from accessible paths, GetIt does the opposite..
    • This means pre-compile Components in both Release and Debug
    • Use a Clean.bat which removes all DCUs that may have been compiled using different directives.
      For me this was key, switching configuration outputs DCUs to a different subdir but for some reason Delphi failed to comprehend that.
    • Eliminate all circular references, MMX works well for that..

    Not something that would happen if Delphi was still built with Delphi.

    IDE become faster

    Installing MMX15 slowed down everything, had to manually change prior Delphi versions back to 14.. plus those new images aren't my taste to be polite 🙂

    don't know the intimate details

    Why should you care? Aren't you a paying customer?
    When a bug stops one of your customers does he care how complex that is for you to find?

     

    Let's be clear here; I've watched plenty of good developers both find the bugs and supply workarounds which where never implemented..

    How nice would that be if your clients had to both find it, explain it in detail and fix it for you?

    activate the debug the IDE

    Not the case here, when I first moved the cursor over I got a 'calculating..' followed by 'canceled' or maybe 'removed' then moving the cursor slightly again gives a frozen 'calculating' followed within 2 minutes by a Stack Overflow and a hard crash.

    IDE Experts

     

    I disabled all Experts, and this is reproducible on both Windows 7 and 10..

     

    FYI: The original error is from a larger project and had a bulleted list in the remarks section..

    As for clean install; the Win10 is clean the Win7 an upgrade, both 10.4.2 Pro.

    Apparently I have a new marketable skill, crashing the LSP server..

     

    This is unbelievable, can someone verify that these steps are reproducible?

     

    • New VCL Project
    • Add an event handler for 'KeyDown'
    • Paste this DocInsight text
    • Save
    • Hover your cursor over the implementation of 'KeyDown' 
    exception class    : EOleException
exception message  : Stack overflow.

    unit Unit1;

uses
  Winapi.Windows, Winapi.Messages, System.SysUtils, System.Variants, System.Classes, Vcl.Graphics,
  Vcl.Controls, Vcl.Forms, Vcl.Dialogs;

    /// <summary>

    procedure FormKeyDown(Sender: TObject; var Key: Word; Shift: TShiftState);

  end;

var
  Form1: TForm1;

procedure TForm1.FormKeyDown(Sender: TObject; var Key: Word; Shift:
    TShiftState);
begin
  ShowMessage('LSP at its best!');
end;

end.

    Does a Clean and Build help

    Nope, all my Builds are clean. I figured out there was an issue due to that a couple of years ago and built a 'clean.cmd' that is triggered via 'Build Tools'

    simple change in the editor

    I have not, because that is exactly what I was trying not to do.
    Sure seems that making a change then undoing it is the only way to force a Refresh at this point..
