IDE Fixpack 6.4.2 hangs Delphi 10.3.1

[dummzeuch 1505]

Hello @jbg

 

I was wondering why I could no longer debug GExperts. Every time the secondary IDE closed or even if it was killed using the Run -> Program reset action, the primary IDE hung.

I disabled the various extensions I have installed in the IDE (first of all GExperts, I always mistrust my own tools first) and it turned out that the IDE Fixpack 6.4.2 was the culprit. After I disabled it, everything went back to "normal".

 

So I tried to find out whether disabling some of the options made any difference:

 

* This is the default settings which causes the problem

 

* This doesn't:

 

* This causes the problem:

 

* and again, this doesn't:

 

So it seems to be the option "Install Compiler Speed Pack" which is the culprit. Unchecking it solves the problem.

 

To reproduce the problem:

 

* Start Delphi

* Create a new 32 bit DLL project: File -> New -> Other -> Dynamic Library

* Set the host application to the Delphi IDE: Run -> Parameters, set Host application to the full path of the bds.exe

* Save the project

* Compile and run it in the debugger

* Let the secondary IDE instance start and simply exit it with File -> Exit

* Wait for the secondary IDE to terminate.

* Die of old age while waiting. It won't terminate.

 

This is with Delphi 10.3.1 "professional with mobile"

 

If I can be of any assistance trying to track down this problem, please let me know.

I only have the Community Edition, but I can't reproduce this.

 

Delphi 10.3 Update 1 (26.0.33219.4899)

Hm, that's odd. Happens for me every single time. Could anybody else please try? The steps should be easy to follow.

Delphi 10.3.1 Enterprise with IDE Fixpack 6.4.2, DDevExtensions 2.85, GExperts 1.3.13.77, Bookmarks 1.6, Navigator 1.6, JCL, JVCL, ...

 

When shutting down the 2nd instance of bds.exe, there is an access violation:

Project bds.exe raised exception class $C0000005 with message 'access violation at 0x50067e88: read of address 0x122e72dc'.

But after that bds.exe exits normal.

I have now also tried it with my installation at work. Can't reproduce it there either.

 

And there I thought that for once I had a nicely reprodicible error... 😞

Wishful thinking I can totally relate to.
