We are still on 11.0. Only Win32

I suspect some of you have used 11.3 for a while now. What is the verdict so far? Is it worth it to upgrade to 11.3?

For those of you who work with Visual Studio as well... Does Visual Studio's Intellisense fail as often as Delphi's Code Insight? Does it just stop to function? Does it fail on only some parts of the functionality? What about Jetbrains' IDEs?

Is that how you use your Delphi VMs in general or is that just a possible workaround for a slow/incompatible host?

What do you see as the important hardware requirements for running a VM smoothly (including all the Hyper-xXx stuff)? I have used VirtualBox for other scenarios but never to code in. On my machine I found that hosting a Windows 10 VM to be unusable; jerky and slow. I have more than enough RAM but I suspect my PC does not meet the requirements otherwise.

I agree. No need to limit yourself by using "just-another-server-client" framework. By using a proper TCP framework like ICS or Indy you will have total control and will be able to easily expand in future.

No Delphi united front/community exists and nobody will be able to sway Embarcadero's thinking. I don't think Embarcadero cares about its customers because I suspect there are too many customers that might be sort of "locked in" and renewing subscriptions all the time. Until that figure goes down drastically Embarcadero will just continue on its merry way. I also believe that if their income falls dramatically they will just try to flog the product line off to some other entity and we will have a repeat. Eroding foundation with clutter on top.

I would definitely start to look at the hardware

Résumé = Curriculum Vitae

$59 is a bit steep to just go for it. In most parts of the world a person would rather try to make sure of a pass before loosing that much money on a "try". In my country I can buy 56 loaves of supermarket bread with that $59

The old one had the Crap-O-Reader installed Sorry, I could not help myself

Any specific type of problems or just CodeInsight in general?

How much experience do you have? That will determine how you should prepare. The embarcadero website says: and... So where do you fit into this? I do not have any idea how the certification covers material but I think 6 months might not be enough for someone with no experience. But there are some bright people out there that might even do it in less time. But remember that the idea behind any studying is to encourage learning and recall of that material and not just to pass a test. Ask yourself if your motives are clear. I have been programming in Delphi for many many years and I am still learning every day and I am on this website and StackOverflow constantly to see what else I can learn.

How would I go about attaching to a process also with the ability to step through the code? I did build the executable with "Debug Information", "Reference Info" and "Include remote debug symbols" but cannot step through the code while attached to it. Breakpoints are also not honoured. Am I missing additional requirements? (Delphi 11, Win32 executable)

I created a blank 1-form test application and it works fine with "stepping"/debug info and it seems the .tds file has no affect. The .rsm file does seem to be required though. It does not even need to be where the final destination executable is as long as it is where the project output is. But our original project does not want to do stepping at all. I have deleted all non essential project files along with the .dproj file and re-built. Nothing I tried seems to work. I copied .rsm and .tds across to the final destination folder, went back and forth between Release and Debug builds, compared configs (Compiling and Linking) with the test app but still no luck. Very strange

I should have mentioned that the executable is on the same PC. I apologize for that.

I will try to "Output" it directly to the intended final destination and see what it does. Isn't the Remote Debugger only for when it is not local or are you referring to the functionality and not the utility? I saw that the .rsm file is generated for remote symbol info. Are there other files also for that purpose?

Yes, I did.

In Delphi 11 was the "File Format" menu item in the Editor's Context Menu moved to another spot or removed entirely? On my Delphi... The help says otherwise...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And I was looking at menus, context menus and sub menus and never at the Status bar. Thank you so much

A few years back Microsoft released an update that broke printing on Epson Dot Matrix printers. Fortunately it was quickly fixed with a follow-up update as so many financials still work on Dot Matrix printers. We had a busy week that week. https://www.cprou.com/information/windows-update-breaks-dot-matrix-printers/ There are other similar cases. One being; https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/new-windows-10-kb5006670-update-breaks-network-printing/

This was tested on a clean install of Delphi 11 with November Patch and no 3rd party packages. Firstly I have noticed that Delphi 11 does not do Find Declaration while your project's Release build is activated. I did find a similar bug report on Quality Portal and voted for that as well as have my colleague submit a comment how to reproduce our issue. https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-33347 So I am wondering if my next Delphi 11 issue is related to that or maybe I am just missing something. Attached you will find a .zip file containing a bare minimum Package and an Application. In the application the problem is that I cannot do a Find Declaration on the package unit in the uses section or the DoMsg method unless I enable "use debug .dcus" inside the application Debug build config. The package consists only of the TestUnitJ unit and the IDE Paths were setup as follows: Win32-------- Library Path-- D:\Test Package\DCU\Win32\Release Browsing Path-- D:\Test Package\PAS Debug DCU Path-- D:\Test Package\DCU\Win32\Debug I followed the same pattern as I have always done in previous versions of Delphi without having these issues. Test Package and Application.zip

I am wondering why the packages included in Delphi behave correctly Even the included Indy. How was that setup and built to work correctly? I wanted to have a look at the Indy packages on its Github but there was only up to xxx270.dproj
